XP Virtual Machine Connection failed to stop
XP Virtual Machine Connection failed to stop. HyperV Error message is:
"Windows XP failed to stop: The device is not ready for use (0x800710DF)"
Virtual Machine Connection loads XP desktop and mouse moves but cannot launch anything. Right click gets popup menu but left click gets nothing.
I'm a HyperV newbee please help.

#1 how did you create this VM?
Must be a Gen 1 vm, maybe requires legacy networking

Unfortunately I didn't create this VM, it's an inherited issue.
Best I can tell the system was running the VM on Windows 7 and croaked after updating to Windows 10.

Lets say, I can imagine that it doesn't work anymore. This was something like a brigde solution at the beginning od Windows 7. Do you need it or your are just curious about`?

Need it to run a legacy application
That was with virtual PC and it was part of the licensing for Windows 7 Pro/Ultimate/Enterprise
It was NEVER hyper-V and no it will not work under hyper-v and is not licensed for usage under Windows 10

Then you need a Windows 7 machine or buy a copy of windows XP and install it into Hyper-V

My assumption now is that the update from Win 7 to Win 10 broke the existing HYperV XP VM. So the solution would be to create a new XP VM in Windows 10?

Now in process of creating a fresh new virtual XP system. Looks like it may work.
This why is asked if you need the content, not a problem at all to create any version of windows as a virtual machine.
Even you can possibly just use the old harddisc. But depends on how you create the new one.
