What are VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll Errors

VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like DismHost.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. VirtualBox) could share the same VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll is attempted to be loaded either when VirtualBox is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll errors include:

Your VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with VirtualBox), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading VirtualBox, system crash while loading VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

How to Fix VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. Oracle Corporation typically does not release VirtualBox DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing VBoxGuestControlSvc.dll and all other DLL files for VirtualBox. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
