Please check if the path configured for Default Machine Folder in the VBox File->Preferences->General exists.

VBox Preferences dialog

I had the problem after migrating to another user account which did not have the VM path that was configured in the global installation.

Please check the existence of the file specified at this path :

C:\Users\Aqsa Intizar\.vagrant.d\boxes\laravel-VAGRANTSLASH-homestead\8.1.0\virtualbox\box.ovf

If the file does exist, here's what you can try : open VirtualBox GUI and ensure there are no existing VM based on your box, if there are, delete them, and try to vagrant up after that.
