But recently, what I suspect was a failed upgrade to VirtualBox is giving me errors when trying to start my Home Assistant VM. I've searched the Internet, but likely don't know what to search on or how to interpret the results - since I'm not finding the answers. I'm a VM novice. Only follow directions to install VMs. Or, might the trouble have been caused by CCleaner running recently? I've since uninstalled CCleaner.
When trying to start the VM, I get the following errors:
Code: Select all
NtCreateFile(\Device\VBoxDrvStub) failed: 0xc0000034 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 vboxdrv' to get more information about its state. Rebooting may actually help.
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine HomeAssistant

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: MachineWrap
Interface: IMachine {85632c68-b5bb-4316-a900-5eb28d3413df}
I rebooted my PC and get the same results.
I then ran sc.exe quert vboxdrv and get the following output:
Code: Select all
[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.
Any ideas?
