19479,Unable to create Host-Only Network on Virtual Box,Sheezan,,"Hi,

I know there are emany posts on this topic and i have gone through almost all of them but my issue still persists.

I am unable to create a host-only network on my Virtual Box. Many of the posts suggested to reinstall the Virtual Box and I did perform the following steps:
.
1) Uninstalled Virtual Box 6.1.4
2) Uninstalled norton AV on my machine (Windows 10 - 16GB RAM)
3) Disabled Windows Defender (Both AV & Forewall)
4) Rebooted the machine many a times.
5) Reinsalled Virtual Box (Run as administrator)

The problem still persists

'''Failed to create a host network interface.

Querying NetCfgInstanceId failed (0x00000002).

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: HostNetworkInterfaceWrap
Interface: IHostNetworkInterface {455f8c45-44a0-a470-ba20-27890b96dba9}

I also tried to download to a lower version (5.2.34) but to no avail.
