VirtualBox
VirtualBox is referenced in this article as the host virtualization platform.
Limitations exist with VirtualBox on Windows.
Because of these limitations, it is highly recommended to use a Windows account with admin rights to run Genymotion Desktop.
If this is not possible, and you receive the errors "Unable to start a device" or "An error has occurred while trying to create a virtualbox host-only network interface", try the following steps.
1. Log in to Windows with an admin account. 2. Open VirtualBox and go to File > Host Network Manager... 3. Delete all the excess VirtualBox host-only ethernet adapters. There should be only one left. 4. Reboot your PC and log in with the standard user account. 5. Run Genymotion. 6. If you still get the error, repeat steps 4-5.
QEMU
QEMU support is still experimental and buggy on Windows at the moment.
Until it is stable, we recommend using VirtualBox hypervisor on Windows.
