Published on 14th March 2021

If you are working with Oracle VM Virtual Box on Windows and if you come across the error code VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND, probably this can be fixed pretty easily.

This issue may arise after Windows updates as well.

1. First hit windows key + r to get the run window.
2. Then type ncpa.cpl and hit enter.
3. There you will get all the network connections and what we are interested here is the Virtual Box related connections.
4. Right click on each network connection related to Virtual Box and click disable from the context menu.
5. Then right click on each network connection related to Virtual Box and click properties.
6. In the Ethernet 2 Properties window untick VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver and click OK.
7. Then do the step 5 and re-tick NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver and click OK.
8. Then re-enable all the network connection related to Virtual Box.

Now try to start VirtualBox. It should work now :-)
