Help me out! Error in supR3HardenedWinReSpawn

Post by xdude_gamer »

I downloaded the newest version of Oracle VM VirtualBox after having used some previous version (I believe it was 6.1.36). Now I can't run any of my previous VMs following a reboot. I get this error message for each and every one of them, by the way.

I've been trying to get Windows 98 SE on my VirtualBox, so I decided to update to the latest version to make sure everything was the most stable before I ran it, so this is a big bummer. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to fix it?

I'm on Windows 10, I've got an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx with 12 GB of RAM.

The error message says the following:

VirtualBox - Error in supR3HardenedWinReSpawn
NtCreateFile(\Device\VBoxDrvStub) failed: 0xc000034
STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND (0 retries) (rc=-101)

Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.

where: supR3HardenedWinReSpawn what: 3 VERR OPEN_FAILED (-101) - File/
Device open failed. Driver is probably stuck stopping/starting. Try 'sc.exe query
vboxsup' to get more information about its state. Rebooting may actually help.

Please supply both logs.

Technically the latest test build is VirtualBox is 7.0.5 r154733 for Windows, so based on the latest I can only assume you are using it and as such you may want to go back and try 7.0.4 or 6.1.40 as they are the latest official releases.

On the side it gives this log:

That's actually the error code, not the log Andy was asking for (I think).

Logs can be found in the VM's Logs folder, then zipped and posted with the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Your first error in the OP may be a bunged Virtualbox installation:
Uninstall Virtualbox and reboot.
Go to "C:\Windows\System32\drivers", look for any files called 'Vbox*.sys' (there could be up to 5) and delete them.
Reboot again.
If you have any 3rd-party security or anti-malware software, disable the living daylights out of it for a moment.
Reinstall Virtualbox using right-click-Run-As-Administrator.

The second error may be overactive 3rd-party security software. Are you running native Windows Defender, or something else?
