VirtualBox 5.2.6 and 5,2,6 - Error in supR3HardenedWinReSpawn

Solution 1:

You can try this, (it worked for me):

  1. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv
  2. Right click on VBoxDrv.inf file and select Install option
  3. Open the Console as administrator and run the following command: sc start vboxdrv

(source)

Solution 2:

First I realized a directory problem with VirtualBox driver. A solution is proposed in StackOveflow by Allan T. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27082252/virtualbox-cannot-access-the-kernel-driver

  1. Close VirtualBox
  2. Open regedit.exe from the Start Menu(windows key+R and search for regedit)
  3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\vboxdrv
  4. Double click on ImagePath
  5. If the path is \C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv\VBoxDrv.sys then there is no directory problem
  6. Otherwise, change the value of the path to \C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv\VBoxDrv.sys

After solving the directory problems as indicated above,

  1. Manually run the VBoxDrv.inf file located at C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxdrv
  2. Run sc start vboxdrv in command prompt with administrator privilege

Hope your problem is solved!

Solution 3:

Just change the ParaVirtualization Interface to other than Default and it should work then. I chose KVM and my VM just started fine.

Solution 4:

This worked 100% for me.

  • Remove your OS Configuration (In my case Ubuntu), by just clicking Remove Only.

  • Then create a new Configuration with the same image.

  • Now it should work well.

  • Else increase or decrease a little amount of ram, Now it should work fine.
