I used to work on my Virtual Box normally until it started giving me critical errors, so i backed up my machine and reinstalled virtualbox and loaded my backed up machine. Now i am working on a project that needs the use of the Webcam, so i use my PC's built in webcam usually. I used to enable it from the VM settings. However, now it the webcam seetings doesn't show in the devices. The photos below show the problem i am facing.
The image below shows that the webcam option is checked in the devices.
However, when i enter to enable my camera from the devices, i don't find the webcam options! (image below)
Is it recommended to reinstall my Virtual box again? If a solution couldn't be found?
The VirtualBox Extension Pack is required to allow Webcam passthrough.

My friend and I have downloaded some discountinued videogames from Old Games Download - Retrogaming and Abandonware (which I warmly recommend to any CD-ROM aficionado!). We managed to run two of them after downloading them, mounting their .ISO file and installing them on a Windows 10 machine. The process was fairly smooth.
We are struggling to run the other two. They’re only compatible with Windows XP, so we created a virtual box with XP as the OS, but still no luck. We can’t get the virtual box to connect to Wi-Fi in any way, even after following several tutorials found online. We have tried mounting the games’s ISOs in the following ways:
Using Virtual Clone Drive
Using WinCDEmu
Using Win XP Virtual CD Control Panel
And we think we have managed to actually mount the ISO and install the programme on the virtual machine, but the game won’t start anyway. When we try to run it, this window opens:
Monsters & Co CDROM initial window, with title, play button, exit button
But when we click ‘play’ nothing happens. We have checked the “Insert Guest Addition CD Image” setting that triggers Autoplay and it seems to be up and running. What can we try next?
VirtualBox access internet by connecting to your real machine (the host machine) as if it was a router of some kind. There is no need to make the virtual machine (guest machine) use your wifi adapter directly to get internet connection, just add a virtual network adapter to your guest machine and VirtualBox takes care of everything else (but make sure you have checked the appropriated options during installation process so drivers are installed in your host machine).
Now, the game not launching is hard to say, as we don't have any message or other info about what is causing the falling. Yet, this is a 3D game and VirtualBox is not good enough to hand this kind of computation.
I'm using vmware workstation 14 Player, there is no option for Virtual Network Editor in VMPlayer. There are several sites which are saying to open the network editor. As I could not find network editor I'm using VM Player 14. Please view the screenshot for better understating.
Here you can see there is no option for network editor and when I click edit virtual machine setting I get the following Box
Here you can see I've selected NAT, but still internet is not working inside VMware. If anyone could help with this.
I was following this video but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2j3nyl4muQ
but here the person is usning VMware and not the vmware workstation player.
Inside preferences I see the following but nothing related to network settings etc
Inside my virtual machine which is a Windows Server 2012 the network adapter shows the following
To do what the video follows up is much better to do it in VirtualBox. Configuring your own NAT is quite easily done, whereas in new VmWare I still have not found a way to do it.
Check this to understand better how to do it.
When connecting HoloLens via USB to my computer, the device portal is still not available after setting it up as explained in the install tools page.
All I get in the browser 127.0.0.1:10080 is the generic "unable to connect" page.
Is there any way to know what is failing? What could I check? Any tip will be appreciated!
EDIT: browsers used: Edge, Firefox and Chrome.
EDIT2: Hololens development mode is on.
Connecting over USB requires the PC be running IPoverUSB, which is installed with the Windows 10 SDK. You can verify that it's running by checking the Services tab of Task Manager for IpOverUsbSvc.
FYI, another resolution to this issue may be the USB port you are using.
I initially was using a USB 3 port (which I've used to flash my HoloLens many times) and had the same issues.
On a whim, I switched to an older USB2 port and it's working perfectly now. SO try different USB ports if you are having this issue.
When i start a new virtual device with genymotion sometimes it will get stuck on the black screen and not load. Sometimes it will work especially just after a restart, otherwise it will hang on the black screen and become unusable.
If the emulator freezes or crashes this is likely due to incompatability with your video card driver.
If however it just hangs on the black screen, this can be due to two reasons:
Your Firewall or other program is blocking genymotion
If this is likely the case then try disconnecting any vpn services or other software which could be hindering this, and ensuring that genymotion is able to connect to the virtual device over the local network.
If you have a firewall, make sure that you allowed connections to the Genymotion network, set to 192.168.56.0/24 by default.
Your network adaptor is misconfigured
If this is the case you should try the following
Run VirtualBox.
Open File > Preferences > Network (or VirtualBox > Preferences for Mac OS X).
Edit the Host-only Network by clicking .
Check that the adapter IPv4 address is in the same network (192.168.56.0/24 by default) as the DHCP server address, lower address bound and upper address bound. If not, your virtual device cannot start.
You can also remove the Host-only Network by clicking . Genymotion will automatically recreate it at the next virtual device start.
I had this problem in Windows 10 after I updated to VirtualBox 6.0.4 and Genymotion 3.0.1. I am using 2nd generation core i5 cpu (i5 2400). Update to this graphics card is not available. According to the official documentation:
Your graphics card no longer matches Genymotion requirements. Please see https://www.genymotion.com/help/desktop/faq/#supported-graphics-cards.
If you are using a dual graphics card laptop (e.g. Intel/Nvidia or Intel/AMD), make sure you are using the most recent/powerful one.
https://www.genymotion.com/help/desktop/faq/#virtual-device-window-empty
Only solution to my problem was keep the VirtualBox 6.0.4 but downgrade genymotion to 2.12.2 version because my graphics cards is no longer supported and only supported intel graphics card is intel hd graphics 4000 generation. Link to Genymotion 2.12.2 is below:
https://dl.genymotion.com/releases/genymotion-2.12.2/genymotion-2.12.2.exe
Following the below steps solved the issue for me.
Open Windows Settings > Network & Internet > Change adapter options
Right-click on VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter
Select Disable
Right-click on the VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter again and Select Enable
Press power button doesn't start until then they will stuck on android logo screen then restart
I had the same problem in Windows. updating the video card driver solved the issue.
Genymotion 3.0.1
VirtualBox 6.0.4
I solved the issue in 2 steps:
Check the Android API versions installed on your system from \SDK\platforms directory.
Create New AVD using available Android versions only.
You need to check 4 different things:
proxy connections to be off( Gennymotion/setting/Network)
SDK be set( Gennymotion/ABD/SDK)
Graphic card driver be successfully installed
Virtual box installed and working correctly
Try again please. hope you will fix it easily.
I have had Win 10 IoT Core running on a Raspberry Pi2, it was working fine, I had ported across my signage software, and all good, then the hdmi port stopped working ? my monitor just says no output, and goes into sleep mode. the Pi is running as I can assess it via the web portal, I can still deploy my application to it, and it says its running, but nothing been displayed.
I know that when using Linux there is a config file that you can modify, but what do you do with windows version ?
you have the configuration file for Windows too. check in the root of SD card. refer https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5851. You can try setting (this forces the board to use DVI mode instead of HDMI)
hdmi_group=2 # forces DVI timing to be used
It might also be due to low power input to the RP2, which could cause HTMI to not work. Try using USB3 or 1.5A~2.0A/ 5V adapter.
Ensure that you are running headed mode and not switched to headless by mistake. Details here: https://ms-iot.github.io/content/en-US/win10/HeadlessMode.htm
