I just installed local by flywheel on my windows 10 machine but virtual box could not launch local and instead I am getting this error below. Please how do I resolve this issue?

Hi there,

Sorry for the trouble!

If this happened immediately after installation, I would recommend opening VirtualBox and removing the local-by-flywheel VM. Then, re-open Local and attempt installation again.
