You need to disable Hypervisor to check new application that use VT-x before the virtual machine launch:

1. Open the command prompt as Administrator

2. Run bcdedit to check hypervisor status:

3. Check hypervisor launch type.

4. If is set to auto then disable it:

   bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off 
   

5. Reboot host machine and launch VirtualBox again

After performing above steps I opened again Docker Quickstart terminal and it is working fine.
