Description
Using the GUI and ctrl+H to show the host network manager, running as administrator in Windows 10 home, I am no longer able to define a HostOnly network. This is the error I receive:

I have the same exception, the version of VirtualBox 6.1.28 r147628 (Qt5.6.2), host type is windows 10 Pro.
now the list is empty in hostonly network manager gui, and I'll get the same exception when creating a new one.
