Windows 11 in Automatic Repair loop

[mauriceatkinson@btconnect.]

After working for months with no issues I now have a Windows 11 VM stuck in an Automatic Repair loop.

 

When the vm starts it shows the Tiano Core and shows Prepairing Automatic Repair but then the VM gets powered off.  Does anybody have any ideas to resolve?  Below is the VM log file

i am still having this problem and I would welcome any ideas to resolve

[ghost82]

I think the issue is in the vdisk, somehow corrupted.

If I were you I would backup the vdisk image to store an original copy of it and then create a new vm with that vdisk and the gparted iso: you will boot from the gparted live iso and you could check disk and partitions of vdisk and maybe you could repair it.

[mauriceatkinson@btconnect.]

thanks for info but not sure about the corrupted vdisk.  I eventually got the vm to start but I am now seeing the vm stopping periodically.  When I start the vm I am seeing this error in the logs.
