Virtualbox ошибка ntcreatefile device vboxdrvstub failed 0xc0000034

In this article, we will see how to solve NtCreateFile failed: 0xc0000034 STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND error if you are also getting this one in your Windows 10 System. To give you more insight about the problem, I am running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VM on Virtualbox installed on Windows 10 System. Yesterday, while the VM was running my system suddenly stopped responding and after sometime it got restarted automatically.

So all the open files, browsers and running VM got unexpectedly closed. Once the system restarted, I tried to start the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VM but it got failed with the error "NtCreateFile failed: 0xc0000034 STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND". While this error could occur due to any reasons, here I will show you the exact root cause in my case and what I did to solve it.

When I checked VBoxHardening log file to collect more information about the error then I noticed that the error is pointing to driver being stuck may be in stopping/starting state due to which VM is unable to start.

24a4.1d30: Error -101 in supR3HardenedWinReSpawn! (enmWhat=3)
24a4.1d30: NtCreateFile(\Device\VBoxDrvStub) failed: 0xc0000034 STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND (0 retries)

Driver is probably stuck stopping/starting. Try 'sc.exe query vboxsup' to get more information about its state. Rebooting may actually help.

So I first tried to run sc.exe query vboxsup in the command prompt as mentioned in the logs to check the status of the service. Here I found that the vboxsup service does not exist and hence showing as not installed.

C:\Windows\system32>sc.exe query vboxsup
[SC] EnumQueryServicesStatus:OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

So to install the above service, I went to C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxsup folder and right clicked on VBoxSup and then clicked on Install to first install this service. Once it got installed successfully, I checked the status again by running same sc.exe query vboxsup command and this time I noticed that the driver is showing installed but it is currently in STOPPED state as you can also see below.

C:\Windows\system32>sc.exe query vboxsup

SERVICE_NAME: vboxsup
        TYPE : 1 KERNEL_DRIVER
        STATE : 1 STOPPED
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 1077 (0x435)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT : 0x0

To start the above service, I ran sc.exe start vboxsup command as shown below. This started the successfully with status showing in RUNNING state as shown below.

C:\Windows\system32>sc.exe start vboxsup

SERVICE_NAME: vboxsup
        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 :

Once the VBoxSup service started, I again tried to start my VM and this time I noticed that VM started without any error. This confirms that above solution worked for me. Hopefully this will work for you as well. Please let me know your feedback in the comment box.

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:

У меня проблемы, я полагаю, так как я обновил свой ноутбук с Windows 8.1 до Windows 10, на эмуляции. Я здесь дам всю информацию, которую я могу о каждой моей попытке подражать.

Первый VirtualBox. Я создал несколько машин для разных ОС, но каждый раз, при первой попытке запустить машину и выбрать файл .iso, запуск завершился неудачей с этой ошибкой:

В интернете у людей была такая же проблема после обновления их Windows 7 (без обновления до Windows 10). Затем Microsoft опубликовала это: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3024777, и, похоже, это работает для них.

Я также попытался установить некоторые эмуляторы Android, и, если я успешно установил их, запустить их было невозможно.

Я подумал, что, возможно, проблема в BIOS, где визуализация может быть не включена. К сожалению, я не могу понять, как получить доступ к BIOS (мой ноутбук — серия ASUS R500V Intel), поэтому я не мог подтвердить или опровергнуть теорию. РЕДАКТИРОВАТЬ: мне наконец-то удалось проверить BIOS, и визуализация включена.

Я также хочу добавить, что почти все упомянутые здесь проблемы не существовали раньше. Я уже запускал Ubuntu на VirtualBox и использовал эмулятор Android на этом компьютере, но с момента появления первой проблемы прошло время, и у меня было время обновить Windows. Возможно, проблема не в обновлении, а в обновлении после или до обновления. Поэтому я могу найти причину, я мог установить проблемное обновление, упомянутое здесь: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=67840. После обновления я не могу установить «исправление обновления», данное Microsoft, так как это только для Windows 7 (это также может быть глупо, так как у меня была Windows 8.1 до обновления).

Я с нетерпением жду решения, так как мне нужна система Linux для изучения, и я не хочу устанавливать Linux как двойную загрузку.
