VirtualBox 6.0 exit code 1

I just installed VirtualBox 6.0 today, and none of my VMs would open up.

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows10.

The virtual machine 'Windows10' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {5047460a-265d-4538-b23e-ddba5fb84976}

Edit: changed it to a VM that’s in my internal drive

I think this has happened to me before and was due to the virtualbox kernel module. See if this gives some ideas: https://www.ostechnix.com/solve-result-code-ns_error_failure-0x80004005-virtualbox-error-arch-linux/
