'XXXXXX' failed to start worker process: Server Execution failed (0x80080005)

Question

Hi,

I am facing the issue when I am trying to start Hyper-V machine, I used this VM earlier so many times in the same laptop withWindows 8.1 OS.

Error : "XXXXX failed to start worker process server execution failed 0x80080005"

Any solution for this.

I deleted the saved status and tried to start, but no use.

I tried the above steps mentioned in one of the threads (Opened MMC, add Component Services snap-in:

Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer -> DCOM Config -> Windows Management Instrumentation -> Right Click, Properties -> Security “Launch and Activation Permission” -> Edit -> gave Authenticated Users  Full Control), but no use.

Could anyone please help me on this.

If this is a recent occurrence then try fixing things via System Restore, or use the System File Checker.

How to repair the operating system and how to restore the operating system configuration to an earlier point in time in Windows Vista (or 7, or 8).

How to analyze the log file entries that the Microsoft Windows Resource Checker (SFC.exe) program generates in Windows Vista

See, Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features\Turn Windows features on or off.

You could try unchecking Hyper-V via Control Panel/ Programs and Features/ Turn Windows Features on or off/ Hyper-V.  This will uninstall it.  You then reboot and then reverse the steps to reinstall it.   Keep any .vhd files that you require safe, it is only the VM Machine that is uninstalled and then reinstalled by the process.
