Windows 11 integration isn't working #62

Closed Zero3K closed 3 months ago

Zero3K commented 4 months ago

I installed the dll in the target64 directory (along with the patches being checked) and set it to replace the default boot entry ans enabled it via the integration program. The VM shows with a green circle but WinDbg doesn't run (and running it via Start debugger causes it to show "waiting for reconnect").

Works fine for me, I'm going to need more information about your setup and exact steps to reproduce.

Is there a reason why you're still using an old version of 6 instead of upgrading to 7? Windows 11 isn't even officially supported as a guest on that version. Can you try with VirtualBox 7 instead?

Zero3K commented 3 months ago

I upgraded to VirtualBox 7. The issue is still occurring.

4d61726b commented 3 months ago

Well, it works great for me. I'm going to need more steps on how to reproduce it beyond a screenshot.

Zero3K commented 3 months ago

I do not know what to tell you.

4d61726b commented 3 months ago

Can you show me the "Motherboard" tab under "Settings->System" for that VM?

A minute after it freezes can you pull the logs and upload them here? Make sure you wait a minute after it happens, then go to "Machine->Show Log" and upload both the VBox.log and VBoxHardening.log

Zero3K commented 3 months ago

It doesn't freeze.

Oh, I still had to disable driver signature enforcement even though I re-signed it with a test certificate and had test signing mode enabled.

4d61726b commented 3 months ago

My bad, I looked at your other screenshot and thought the "About screen" was the "boot splash screen".

Oh, I still had to disable driver signature enforcement even though I re-signed it with a test certificate and had test signing mode enabled.

See my comment here, it's not possible to sign that DLL in Windows 8 and above to bypass that restriction:

https://github.com/4d61726b/VirtualKD-Redux/issues/7#issuecomment-602036883

So this issue is resolved then?

Zero3K commented 3 months ago

Yes.

When I asked for the steps to reproduce, you only posted a screenshot. I asked again and you said:

I do not know what to tell you.

If you had told me that you were trying to self-sign the transport DLL, then I could have easily told you that wasn't going to work and it would have saved us both time.

In the future, just follow the "Bug Report" template when you file an issue on this project and try to document the exact steps you are performing so I can try to replicate the issue you're experiencing. It would save us both time instead of going back and forth to try and get the information out of you.
