What is the Windows Registry?
The Windows registry is a storage database of files and configurations that are used to run all software and hardware on your system. In many ways it is the “lifeblood” of your computer, since nothing can run without first accessing data within the registry. Over time, the registry will become bloated with errors and require maintenance in order to improve PC performance.

How Can I Fix the Registry?
Unfortunately the registry is an extremely complicated section of your system. Attempting to fix it manually is only recommended for folks who are computer experts. If you remove or uninstall the wrong registry entry or value, the entire system can collapse. This is why it is highly recommended to use a registry cleaner.

If you are encountering a slow PC, computer freezes and other computer errors or want to do a blue screen of death fix, instead of trying to manually fix your registry, Advanced System Repair to automatically scan your system and repair registry problems in minutes. It will be able to diagnose and its optimization feature lets you pinpoint exactly how to boost system performance in no time.

It seems this is a VBox issue and you need to delete extension files and reinstall Virtual box

1) sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/VBox*
2) re-install VirtualBox

I am assuming you have uninstalled Virtual Box and deleted all its associated files and VM to give you room to install VMWare and create new VMs. Can you post a screenshot of the error message?

It does but when Docker came out, Linux had native , we jumped on it before it was implemented in windows, plus alot of us don't use Windows for dev because the servers are linux anyway

Update.
I've given up on the Ubuntu, since if I try it again, it's a serious hanging issue.So I got lubuntu 20.04, loaded pretty quickly and doesn't freeze that much..Now my next issue is that it can't detect the Qualcomm Atheros I use.

Is the Atheros for your wifi card? Find a way to get internet via wired network and see if you find proprietary software for the card in Additional hardware part of the OS.

Check additional hardware settings to see if your wifi card requires proprietary driver. You might need internet from another source (wired) if your system needs to it.

What was the error? Please send a screenshot. You are in the right place.
Also by just seeing a part of your wall paper your wallpaper, I am guessing that is an older Ubuntu version. Can you install 20.04 LTS version (link below) of Ubuntu and see if this problem persists?

I have the version 20.04LTS installed. The problem is; I'm not seeing the wireless connection option in my settings. I researched about it, and was told it was the driver that wasn't installed. I'll have to install the driver myself.
This Linux is really stressing my life angry almost everything I want to do, I have to Google it. To install app sef na Wahala. I need my Windows back abeg

Good luck on the window side. I don't think you are ready for Linux yet.

Ok, do you have access to a wired network with internet connection? Then come back to this Additional device area. Scan and install the Broadcom driver. That should resolve the issue.

Hi Gargoylesmiles
