Error starting VM - E_FAIL 0x80004005 SessionMachine

Description
I am getting virtualbox error "Failed to open a session for the virtual machine xxxxx." The VM session was aborted. See screenshot attachment for complete error.
This happens when I start any virtual machine just after launching the virtualbox manager. I try the start a second and sometimes third time and the machine will launch and function normally. When it shuts down, I also get an error but everything is being saved inside the machine.
I am running Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) on an HP desktop (I7 processor with 32gb of memory). This only started after upgrading to version 5 of virtualbox. I have tried the original 5.0 version, the 5.01 test version and am now on 5.02 r102096. The guest machine doesn't seem to matter - they all receive the error. Guests include Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 2008 R2 server, Windows 7, and Windows 2003 R2 server.
Attached is the screenshot of the error and a clean log (cleared before starting virtualbox and getting error).

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing with no luck. I have also tried running virtualbox as administrator but it did not help. None of the VMs have snapshots. All have the latest virtual additions installed. I have tried deleting the machines and recreating them (and re-attaching the hds) but that didn't help.
