install the correct driver for your hardware, see https://hashcat.net/hashcat

driver from nvidia.com for your NVidia GPU
driver from the ROCm page for your AMD GPU on linux
driver from the amd.com page for AMD GPU on windows
OpenCL Runtime for Intel CPU from the intel webpage for all makes of CPUs (also AMD, not only Intel)

you always should explain the details about your system (model/make, CPU/GPU specs) ... otherwise we can't really give good answers (only general answers)

Yes sorry,
 I used Linux on VBox (Win10)
CPU- Intel (R) Core (TM) Intel 5 10210u cpu @1.60ghz

GPU Intel(r) UHD grapichs

But i don't understand how i install GPU drivers on The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) from my Virtual Box.

Please help me

Hum this a really bad idea to use hashcat on VBox, as you cannot access to your GPUs.
Use directly hashcat windows binary if you are on Windows, you don't need to install linux.
