VirtualBox reports an error: cannot open a new task for virtual computer XXX

Problem Description:

initial error:

VirtualBox – error in supr3hardenedwirespan
error relaunching VirtualBox VM process: 5
supr3hardenedwirespan what: 5 Verr_ INVALID_ Name (- 104) – invalid (malformed) file/path name.

after clicking OK, the exit 1 of “cannot open a new task for virtual computer XXX” reports an error

these errors mean that some DLL files fail to load. (Note 1)
causes:

according to the user reports collected and sorted by Kevin arrows (2020), there are roughly three categories:

1. The VirtualBox core driver is not installed or damaged (just reinstall the inf. file)

2. Interference of third-party anti-virus software (especially win10 firewall, but I failed to add a white list to each application of VirtualBox)

3. Incompatibility after Windows system update
solution:

1 ~ 4 slightly

5. Open the registry and find

Computer \ HKEY_ LOCAL_ MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VBoxDrv

 

 

 

Double click start and change the value 1 (or other) to 2 (I successfully repaired it in this step). (Note 2)

notes:

    DLL: dynamic link library is a dynamic link library. It is an executable file loaded and linked at run time. It is often used to prevent the host from being disabled by high-level malware attacks
