Starting a virtual device fails with "VBoxHeadless.exe - Application Error. [...] The memory could not be read."
On Windows, this error is typical with laptops with 2 GPUs: a low-profile integrated GPU, with low performances, and a high-profile discrete GPU.
To fix this, you need to force Windows to use the AMD/NVIDIA high-profile discrete GPU by default.
To do so, follow the instructions from the article How to force Genymotion Desktop use the high performance discrete GPU on laptops?
