@CauLand,

Sorry for the delay!

Please try the following:

1. Quit Local if it’s running
2. Open Terminal
3. Run the following command and provide your password when prompted:

```auto
sudo /Library/Application\ Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh restart

```

1. Go to System Preferences » Security & Privacy
2. Click on the “Allow” button if present
3. Re-open Local

@virendra,

Again, I apologize for the late response!

If you’re still having this problem, please try [manually updating VirtualBox](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/how-can-i-manually-update-virtualbox/6389) and then restart your PC.

@bunnierabbi,

Can you please provide your `local-by-flywheel.log` file? See “[How do I retrieve Local’s log file?](https://local.getflywheel.com/community/t/how-do-i-retrieve-locals-log-file/3720)” for instructions on how to do so.
