I just got laravel homestead to run yesterday using powershell. Now, it won't even run. I just suspended vagrant and turned off my pc. Now it's just giving me this error:

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Checking if box 'laravel/homestead' is up to date...
==> default: Clearing any previously set forwarded ports...
There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant

I had the same problem and the previous answer didn't work for me. I opened the VirtualBox GUI and saw that the virtual machine was running. I stopped it and then I executed "vagrant up". All worked well.
