Error: VDD. Virtual Device Driver format in the registry is invalid.

Users have been receiving the following error message

16 bit Windows Subsystem

SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\VirtualDeviceDrivers. VDD. Virtual Device Driver format in the registry is invalid. Choose ‘Close’ to terminate the application.

Close | Ignore

I tried the solution of deleting the VDD key and re-creating it with a blank value but that made no difference. That was until I found this site that told me to use REGEDT32 instead of REGEDIT as REGEDIT does not allow you to create REG_MULTI_SZ fields (I had been foolishly trying a REG_SZ as it was the nearest available).

Problem Fixed!
