VirtualBox won't start - NtCreateFile(\Device\VBoxDrvStub) failed on Windows 10

Question

I have Windows 10 host and VirtualBox 5.0.10. I am trying to launch Ubuntu as guest OS and getting this error:

134c.754: supR3HardenedWinReadErrorInfoDevice: 'RTLdrOpenWithReader failed: -626 (Image='\Device\HarddiskVolume2\Windows\S'

134c.754: Error -626 in supR3HardenedWinReSpawn! (enmWhat=3)

This host used to work on Win7 and not since I have upgraded to Win10

Please help me fix this issue

Answer 1

Found the answer elsewhere: however, I must note, that I ended up with another error not having multiple virtual screens or graphical options in configuration, reinstalling helped, but this error returned and the solution stopped to work, what effectively helped after was uninstalling and reinstalling VirtualBox - perhaps also due to error message

C: Program Files\ Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers is unavailable. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again

while the folder existed; I checked manually

Okay - got it working. Here's what I did.

Went to the C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv directory, right clicked on VBoxDrv.inf and selected Install. I then went back to my console and typed 'sc start vboxdrv' and got this:

SERVICE_NAME: vboxdrv
        TYPE               : 1  KERNEL_DRIVER
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING
                                (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0
        PID                : 0
        FLAGS              :

Went back to VirtualBox and was able to start the Ubuntu virtual machine.

My similar error:

VirtualBox - Error In supR3Hardened WinkeSpawn

NtCreateFile(\Device\VBoxDrvStub) failed: Unknown Status -5633 (0xffffe9ff) (rcNt=0xe986e9ff) VBoxDrvStub error: Unknown image file \Device \HarddiskVolume4\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VirtualBoxVM.exe at 00007ff7f1b90000. (rc83Exp--91) (rc=-5633)

Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.

where: supR3HardenedWinReSpawn what: 3
VERR_SUP_VP_NOT_KNOWN_DLL_OR_EXE (-5633) - Process Verification Failure: An unknown and unwanted DLL was found loaded into the process.

other accompanying errors

VirtualBox - Error In supR3HardenedWinReSpawn

NtCreateFile(\Device\VBoxDrvStub) failed: 0xc000000e STATUS_NO_SUCH_DEVICE (160 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.

Answer 2

It worked with test build, VirtualBox 5.0.11 fixes the problem
