Hyper-V VM failed to start

Question

Hi,
I use an older version of windows for some dev/testing purposes using hyper-v on my win 10 machine. I recently moved the .vhdx file from one drive to another as I needed some space for other work. I then moved back the .vhdx file to its original location but I am now getting this error. Any idea how to fix it?

Issue when I try to start the machine -

or this if I try without disabling checkpoint

Answer 1

Hi,

Please right-click on the VHD file, click properties. On the General tab, click Advanced and check if the Compress or Encrypt is selected.

Thanks for your time!
Best Regards,
Anne
