I broke something on my system a few virtualbox versions ago, and was not able to run any boxes. I uninstalled and reinstalled; same version, and newer versions. Never fixed. Today I tried again. Details below. I would appreciate any help getting running again.
Steps:
* Uninstalled old version 6.1.28, deleted all boxes, and all virtualbox directories.
* Installed version 6.1.30 with 6.1.30 extension pack. Rebooted.
* Created new box, attempt to start.
Issue:

VirtualBox - Error In supR3HardenedWinReSpawn

Driver is probably stuck stopping/starting. Try 'sc.exe query vboxdrv' to get more information about its state. Rebooting may actually help.</html>

OK

VBoxHardening.log indicated vboxdrv service issue.
251c.10a8: NtCreateFile(\Device\VBoxDrvStub) failed: 0xc0000034 STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND (0 retries)
So I went to C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv, right-clicked VBoxDrv.inf | Install, rebooted again. Same issue.
VBoxHardening.log attached as .zip file.

Please try uninstalling again, then go to "C:\Windows\System32\drivers" and check that there are no .sys files starting with "Vbox" (there could be up to 5). Sometimes these files don't get deleted during an uninstall.
