Failed to create KVP sessions string error code 0x8007007A can happen for a number of reasons. The most common reason is that the Windows Registry is corrupt and contains invalid entries. This can be caused by a number of things, such as a virus, a bad driver, or a corrupted file. Another possibility is that the KVP service is not running. This can be checked in the Services applet in the Control Panel. If the service is not running, it can be started by clicking the Start button, then typing "services.msc" into the search box. Once the Services applet opens, scroll down to the "Keyboard Video Path" service and make sure it is set to "Automatic." If it is not, set it to that and then click the "Start" button to start the service.

1. Restart the computer and try again

  1. Attempt to create a new kvp session
  2. If the error persists, contact Microsoft Support
  3. If the error does not persist after restarting the computer and creating a new kvp session, then the problem is most likely with the computer hardware or software.

2. Check the spelling of the string

  1. Open the Command Prompt as administrator.
  2. Type the following command and press Enter: wmic verbose /show errors

  7. Under that key, you'll see a "KvpSvc" subkey.
  8. In that subkey, you'll see a "ErrorControl" value.
  9. You'll need to change the "ErrorControl" value to "0x8007007a".
  10. Click OK to save the changes and close the Registry Editor window.
  11. Restart the Windows service that was causing the problem.
