Windows 10 21H2
Today, when I tried to (re) start a paused ("Saved") VM, I got these error dialogs, one after another:
--------------------------- VirtualBox - Error In supR3HardenedWinReSpawn --------------------------- NtCreateFile(\Device\VBoxDrvStub) failed: 0xc000000e STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE (163 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.

The same error happens when trying to start another VM that is "Powered Off".
The last lines of VBoxHardening.log are:

Is there a way out without a reboot?
