What does NTSTATUS 0xC037000E (STATUS_VID_CHILD_GPA_PAGE_SET_CORRUPTED) mean?

Status / error code:

Category:

Constant name:

Source:

Facility:

Operating System:

Description:

Cannot unlock the page array for the guest operating system memory address because it does not match a previous lock request. Restarting the virtual machine may fix the problem. If the problem persists, try restarting the physical computer.

STATUS_VID_CHILD_GPA_PAGE_SET_CORRUPTED

The child GPA page set no longer matches the lock state

STATUS_VID_CHILD_GPA_PAGE_SET_CORRUPTED does not mean the guest file system is corrupt. It means VID detected inconsistent host bookkeeping for a set of guest physical pages, typically around a lock/unlock pair.

Here the failed invariant is the relationship between a child GPA page set and an earlier lock request: the page array presented for unlock no longer matches the set VID recorded. Treat the GPA list, page count, and lock/unlock sequence as one transaction; a reordered cleanup or stale saved mapping is more relevant than guest virtual-address permissions.

This is a strong signal to preserve sequence evidence, because the mismatched unlock is often only the point where a prior incorrect range, stale handle, or double operation becomes visible.

What to inspect

Capture the GPA base, page count, and handle identity from both the lock and unlock sides if tracing is available.
Look for overlapping ranges, double unlocks, and teardown racing with memory notification or device assignment.
Check whether a saved-state restore or migration path rebuilt page-set state incorrectly.
