Hello,

I had the same problem searching around for days.

The cause was NOT a installed / uninstalled Virtualbox BUT a portable one on the filesystem :-(

In my case i opened C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther{RANDOMSTRING}_APPRAISER_HumanReadable.xml

and search for 'T_ANY_FMC_BlockingApplication" Value="TRUE"'

which found:

<Property Name="LowerCaseLongPathUnexpanded" Value="%programfiles(x86)%\linuxlive usb creator\tools\virtualbox\portable-virtualbox\app64\virtualbox.exe" Ordinal="1" />

Removing this files let me install 20H2.

    As for me, I found this hidden directory "C:\Program Files\Oracle" inside that VirtualBox was there. I deleted it and it worked.

    Thank you so much! I tried every solution in this thread, but this one finally worked. I can't believe virtualbox was still in this file even when I tried searching for it, running the package suggested and looking at hidden files and the uninstall programs page

    Thank you so much.... Looking at the "HumanReadable" file help a lot.

    For me it wasn't a linuxlive it was that when I updated Virtualbox I would make a backup of the program folder to the same folder. Once I moved them out the update was able to continued.
