Virtualbox program error that does not open and shows the warning that it cannot operate in VMX mode.

Commands used to solve the issue:

If you use Intel CPU:

sudo modprobe -r kvm_intel

If you use AMD:

sudo modprobe -r kvm_amd

Enter this file with the following command in the terminal:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Then at the end of the file add this line, if it is Intel:

blacklist kvm_intel

If it is AMD (I have not tested):

blacklist kvm_amd
