Hyper-V Virtual Machine Permission Errors

Server: 2016

I was changing the allotted memory on a Virtual Machine (which I have done without issue many times in the past) and it first gave me a SCSI permission error which I fixed with this article: https://itblog.ldlnet.net/index.php/2019/06/11/hyper-v-general-access-denied-error-when-trying-to-load-a-virtual-hard-drive-and-start-a-vm/

It then started without issue. Now I'm trying to export it and again getting a permission error. Is there any way to resolve all of this at once?

Recently I have added the host to a domain network, however, I'm still using the local account (it takes the server 3 hours to switch accounts and I'm not generally locally onsite.

Even though the local account has all the permissions for Hyper-V and the VHDXs, could this be the cause? Or did something else cause it to bug out?

Edit: I've recently testing changing the settings on another virtual machine and it seems to be fine. It seems to be limited to this VM. Also it seems like I can export it when it's off, just not when it's running.
