The virtual machine has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1)

1035002 Dec 11, 2014 5:58 PM

Hello All,

I came up with the error below, when I am trying to start a virtual machine from my VirtualBox. It was working fine till yesterday, and all of a sudden it's throwing this error. The only change I can think of, is of some automatic windows update which might have changed/updated the registry entries.

VirtualBox Version: 4.3.20

Host: Win7 64 bit

Guest: OracleLinux 64 bit

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine DEVM.

The virtual machine 'DEVM' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). More details may be available in 'E:\VM\DEVM\Logs\VBoxStartup.log'.

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)

Component: Machine

Interface: IMachine {480cf695-2d8d-4256-9c8c-cce0000fa123}

Please suggest on how to move forward.

Thanks,

Moore

If you think it is a registry entry, you might want to check and delete the following entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VirtualBox.exe"="DISABLEUSERCALLBACKEXCEPTION"

I am getting the same error and problems as Craig. It was working fine until yesterday's Windows Update. The registry entry that Dude! suggested doesn't even exist on my machine.

Edit: I should mention that, like Craig mentioned below, the "Layer" tree is missing. I even did a entire registry search for "DISABLEUSERCALLBACKEXCEPTION" and found nothing.

Thanks for the reply.

The folder "Layer" in missing from my system's registry i.e after [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags]

OS Version: Windows 7 Professional.

Thanks!

When something happens that probably affects many users, such a as bad Windows update, checking the most recent reports in the Virtualbox product forum might be the best address:

Thanks. Uninstalling that particular update file did the trick.

When it comes to Windows, nothing surprises me. At my last job the network/desktop unit was completely separate from the database/application unit. We (database/application) knew that every Wednesday would be spent chasing new errors brought about by Micros*** "Patch (bug) Tuesday"

Thanks Dude for the links.

Looks like now we have a solution from Microsoft for the bug.
Install KB3024777 to fix an issue with KB3004394 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

Thanks!

I have overcome the issue.

1) Installed the latest update from Microsoft.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3024777
2) Did System Reboot.
3) Uninstalled the Oracle VM VirtualBox.
4) Installed it again after a second Reboot.

Thanks Again for all your comments.

Not sure but I found this looking for an error ALMOST identical to this that turned out to be a conflict between VirtualBox and MS Hyper-V. If you have Hyper-V installed, it will not let VirtualBox access the "VT-x" function of the CPU.

Check:
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/12350

Hope this helps.

I had the same issue after I installed the latest Windows 10 update, so I uninstalled VirtualBox and replace it with the latest version and it works! make sure you get the last edition of the extension pack as well

I guess everyone installing those Windows 10 updates faces the issue.
I did not uninstall the older version of VirtualBox. I looked for a software update from the menu and updated from the exe. It is working fine now.
I have quite a few VMs for RAC and Cloudera that I had configured previously and did not want to take a chance in losing those, with an uninstall.
