Windows 10 solution could not be updated due to VirtualBox
Typically, when upgrading Windows 10 to the latest build version, a dialog box appears asking the user to manually uninstall the VirtualBox program. Usually the user just needs to follow the command and then press the key Update. But what if the current condition doesn’t install the VirtualBox program?
It happened to a lot of people, you know. And most of the reasons are the same. Users don’t have to bother editing system files like this one Registration or others. Because what needs to be done is to remove the VirtualBox program.
You may not know if you installed a program related to VirtualBox. For example like Android emulators. Most emulators use VirtualBox to run them.

In this article, I am going to share the most suitable solution to solve this problem easily. So you no longer have to bother looking here and there for a solution that doesn’t work.
And as I said above, please Uninstall the Android emulator program is currently using it. Examples like Bluestacks, LD player, MEMUPplay, Etc.

Not installing an Android emulator program?
If the current condition does not install an emulator program, other programs may be doing the same. Examples like VMWare.
And don’t worry, Windows Explorer has a great search function that analyzes files in each file journey. This is how you can find the VirtualBox file and then find out the directory the file came from. Here are the steps:
open minded Windows Explorer.
Click on the menu This pc.
Then enter VirtualBox.exe in the search field.
Wait for the search to complete.
If the file is found, please right-click and select Open file location.
Done, now you’ve found the directory where VirtualBox is located.
So once you’ve found the origin of the folder, from there you can find out which program the VirtualBox file came from. So please Clear Application / program referring to the folder that previously contained the VirtualBox file.
If it has been removed, please restart the device, reopen Windows Update and continue the process. From now on you will certainly no longer be prompted to delete the VirtualBox program.
