VirtualBox Fails After Windows 11 Upgrade (NtCreateFile failed)

Read Time:41 Sec

After upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11, VirtualBox fails to start your Virtual Machine. You receive this error:

NtCreateFile (\Device\VBoxDrvStub) failed: 0xc0000034
STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND (0 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 vboxsup’ to get more information about its state. Rebooting may actually help.

To resolve this issue:

  1. Locate the VBoxSup.inf file. Usually found here: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\vboxsup
  2. Right-Click the VBoxSup.inf file and select [Install]
  3. Open a command prompt as Administrator and run the following command:
    sc start vboxsup
  4. Start your VM

Hopefully, this helps. If you have another way of resolving the issue, let me know.
