Why does this VirtualBox error appear? Call to VidMessageSlotMap failed: Last=0xc000000d/87 (VERR_NEM_VM_CREATE_FAILED)

9

When I attempt to start an Ubuntu guest OS in VirtualBox it gives me this error:

Call to VidMessageSlotMap failed: Last=0xc000000d/87 (VERR_NEM_VM_CREATE_FAILED)

I was getting more common errors (AMD-V) relating to virtualization beforehand. I am aware of issues with Windows 10, AMD, and virtualization. I had enabled SVM Support in the BIOS and it solved those issues, but this one is now appearing which it didn't before.

When I search this error I get information relating to "WHvSetupPartition" and not "VidMessageSlotMap". I tried the fixes for that (including the powershell command: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off) with this one too, but they didn't work.

"Your question has been identified as a possible duplicate of another question." As mentioned, it's a different error and I've tried fixes for that error on this too.

I am using Windows 10 Pro N, a Ryzen 5 1600, and a Gigabyte B450M DS3H. As I said I enabled SVM in the BIOS and I am sure to have disabled the Windows 10 based virtualization features as they were apparently causing issues too. I attempted with them both enabled and disabled.

enter image description here

I've highlighted the ones I've heard are the ones that may conflict with it and as you can see they're all disabled.

What is causing this and how do I disable it or prevent it from doing so? Or what may I need to enable to get this working?

windows-10
virtualbox
virtual-machine
bios

I was getting the same error. Leaving Virtual Machine Platform on made VM run.

I had exactly the same error :

Call to VidMessageSlotMap failed: Last=0xc000000d/87 (VERR_NEM_VM_CREATE_FAILED).

I resolved this with a second reboot of the system. Hyper-V functionality and Windows containers were already disabled:

Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName containers

I use French Windows 10 Pro. I have none of the following items: "Vitual Machine Platform", "Windows Hypervisor", "Windows Sandbox", "Windows Subsystem for Linux".

  1. Try to update Windows to latest version and install latest version of VirtualBox (& if you used, you can update ExtensionsPack too)

  2. if above doesn't solve, try https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=95978
