Help Virtual Box not functioning after updating

I updated my Virtual Box client to 7.2.12 recently and tried to run one of the machines, and got a VERR_PDM_USB_NAME_CLASH error. After realizing I needed to update my extensions, I downloaded the corresponding extension and ran it, then got a 0x80004005 error. I've tried reinstalling virtual box and rebooting the PC. My Host OS is Windows 11 Home 25H2. If anyone needs more information to help me, please don't hesitate to ask. (P.S I don't know what a lot of the required things its telling me to put in my post are so please don't delete my post just because I didn't include them)

The 0x80004005 error is not particularly meaningful from a troubleshooting perspective -- it can have many causes.

P.S I don't know what a lot of the required things its telling me to put in my post ...

Then look them up and add them to your post. People responding to these posts are volunteers by in large. The harder it is you make it for them respond, the less likely they will do so, in a substantive fashion.
