Per the post Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues, I’ve tried the following:
- Reinstalling VirtualBox 6 as administrator (several times).
- Ensuring Hyper-v is disabled (it already was).
- Restarting the host computer.
- Disabling antivirus (TrendMicro) (IT policy prevents fully uninstalling it).
- Running “sfc /scannow” from an elevated command prompt on the host (no errors were found).
- Updating my graphics card (NVIDIA Quadro M1000M) driver to the latest version.
After acknowledging the error, I get the following message:supHardenedWinVerifyProcess failed with VERR_SUP_Vp_REPLACE_VIRTUAL_MEMORY_FAILED: (RC=-5673
Please try reinstalling VirtualBox.
Where: supR3HardNtChildPurify what: 5 VERR_SUP_Vp_REPLACE_VIRTUAL_MEMORY_FAILED (-5673) – Process Purification Failure: NtAllocateVIrtualMemory failed to get us suitable replacement memory for a chunk of executable memory that shouldn’t be present in our process. (You will only see this message if you got potentially fatally buggy anti-virus software installed.).
