Old Windows 8 VM does not boot

Post by hsweeten »

This morning I tried to start an old Windows 8 VM that I have used for years with no problems.

I can't remember exactly when I used it last but I know I used it on 3/12/2021.

Today when I tried to start it I get a "Guru Mediation" window about a critical error. The screen shows this on it:

Your PC needs to restart.
Please hold down the power button.
Error Code: 0x000000C4
Parameters:
0x0000000000000091
0x000000000000000F
0xFFFFF8006B55DA00
0x0000000000000000

Any ideas?

fixed

It appears having Hyper-V enabled (Windows Features / Virtual Machine Platform) was causing the problem.

Strange that my Linux VM boots.
