Vagrant status is "running" but VirtualBox shows "Powered Off"

Question

I've successfully provisioned a base CentOS box, and can connect to the terminal via ssh. Running "vagrant status" shows the virtualbox is running. However, when I open the VirtualBox GUI the box shows "Powered Off". I assume this has to do with the "headless" mode, but I'm wondering if I may be doing something wrong. It seems that regardless of the state of a GUI for the box, the VirtualBox GUI should be reporting the same as vagrant.

Answer 1

I had the same problem and it was solved by running VirtualBox as Administrator (on Windows 10) and it then showed the vagrant started vm as running.
