VirtualBox - Error In supR3HardenedWinReSpawn when the starting the VM

[PbuHCL]

I am using VirtualBox 5.0.40 and I have created a VM which has Windows XPMode configured. When I am starting the VM, I am getting the below exception pop up with the error message:

VirtualBox - Error In supR3HardenedWinReSpawn

(rc=-5640)

Please try reinstalling VirtualBox.

where: supR3HardenedWinReSpawn what: 1 VERR_SUP_VP_THREAD_NOT_ALONE (-5640) - Process Verification Failure: The process has more than one thread.

When I click the OK, it brings another exception pop up with the below error message:

VirtualBox - Error

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine 'My Guest Machine'

Details The virtual machine 'My Guest Machine' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1(0x1). More details may be available in 'C:\Users\myuser\VirtualBox VMs\My Guest Machine\Logs\VBoxHardening.log'.

I clicked OK to close the window.

But when I start the VM again, it launches successfully with out any error. But at times when I start again after the above mentioned error, it is not launching and give the same error. This behavior is inconsistent.

Could you please suggest me any possible fix to avoid this error?
