HI All

I have bought a new HP Probook 650 G5 and setting up Oracle Virtual box and 1 VM (CentOS Based).

On power Up I am getting an Error : Error Launching VirtualBox VM Process : 5

Where: supR3HardenedWinRESpawn what : 5 VERR_INVALID_NAME (-104) - Invalid (malformed) file /Path Name

Result Code : E_FAIL (0x80004005)

Specification of Machine :
Windows 10 Pro (10.0.18363)
Intel Core i7-8565U , 16 GB RAM

Virtual Box Versions checked : 6.0.16-135674, 6.1.14-140239, 6.0.24-139119
Steps Undertaken :
1. Did a SFC /scannow
2. Added the following VirtualBox Application Files as Exclusion in Windows Defender
VBOXSDL.exe
VBOXSDS.exe
VBOXSVC.exe
VirtualBox.exe
VirtualBoxVM.exe

3. HP Sure Click has been disabled.
4. Installation of the Version has been undertaken - Run as Administrator'
5. Startup has been undertaken as - Run as Administrator
6. Normal, Headless,Detached Start show the same error
7. In Place of Bridged Adapter, tried Host Only - Still Same Error
8. Repair and Reboot , Uninstall -> Reboot / Shutdown -> Install , did not help
9. Changed the VirtualBox VMs folder - from C: Users to a separate Location - No change in error
10. HyperV Services is not running.
11. Role in Windows - HyperV is not enabled.

I have another machine - Surface Book 2 and there no such issues are seen. VMs are working fine without issues.

Attaching the Screenshots and VBoxHardening File to check and comment on the possible issue and remediation.

See Diagnosing VirtualBox Hardening Issues. Your hardening log exit code is 1.

Disabling security software is often not enough, because some patched Windows DLLs stay patched then. Try if uninstalling helps.
