Description
[How to reproduce]
From fresh installation, I had no problem to use host-only network and the host-only adapter was present.
The problem began when I removed my host-only adapters using VirtualBox GUI. I was then not able to re-create it using either the GUI and the command line.
[Research]
I've walk through the VirtualBox forum and Bug tracker before posting and I found a similar issue :
+ https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/17354
+ https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=86179
Here the antivirus was involded and disable it resolved the issue.
In my case I've completely uninstall my corporate antivirus + deactivate Windows Defender without success.
[Troubleshooting]
+ Repair VirtualBox
+ Uninstall VirtualBox
+ Remove %userprofile%\.virtualbox
+ Remove drivers in %windir%\System32\drivers
+ Remove registry keys about VirtualBox
+ Install 5.2 VirtualBox
+ Run Installer as Admin right
+ Run a Ccleaner registry cleaning
With a result always the same, failed to create host-only adapter.

I remember once clicking [NO] on the UAC pop-up message asking to install host-only driver. Could the issue be trigered by this action?
Thanks for your help.
