Thanks for the quick fix to my issue. Forgot that there was a shared device and you reminded me of this.

Thank you. I've been fighting with a similar issue on a customer's virtualized Domain Controller. It ends up, they tried to connect an external USB HDD to the system as a SCSI disk, and it's not able to connect to it. All the message said was "an error occurred while attempting to start the selected virtual machine". I could have searched for hours without finding the problem if not for your video!

Restarting the hyper v management service fixed it for me

The background music was not only unnecessary, but made it difficult to watch this

Great fix.. FYI I previously had an external CDROM plugged into my VM and removed the drive after rebooting the machine. I received the same error although I only had 1 VM. I simply changed the CDrom to NONE and the VM would start!

Check free space on your disk.
That's can be one of a reason.

Why so much noise in the background? That was annoying.
