Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

I had created a VM, then a checkpoint, but somehow it was deleted. It was only a little test VM I had set up, no big deal to lose, so I deleted the VM from Hyper-V Manager.
Now, whenever I try to create a VM--*any* VM--it fails with a popup error:
It doesn't matter what the VM name is, it always claims that the checkpoint %vmname%.vhdx is missing.
Example:
I try to create a VM in directory d:\vm\vms\ called VM-01. I tell it to place the disk in d:\vm\vms\VM-01\vhd\. I hit Finish. It acts like it is creating everything, then I get the popup above. The directories are created (e.g. d:\vm\vms\VM-01\Virtual MachinesError log reports:
'VM-01' is missing a checkpoint. The disk paths missing used to be located at: D:\vm\vms\VM-01\vhd\VM-01.
This will happen regardless of what I name the VM.
Security on the directory:
SYSTEM: FULL CONTROL
%MyDomainUserAcct%: FULL CONTROL
%LocalMachine%\Administrat
I've removed/reinstalled Hyper-V, done a system restore to before the problem started etc. Services are running and I am an admin on the machine. I still choose to run Hyper-V Manager as admin and get the same results.
To make matters more confusing: If I choose the Quick Create option it works just fine. If I create a custom machine and place it in the same directory …

Hyper-V 2016 Trouble...
I have two 2012 r2 VM DCs running on a standalone Hyper-V 2016 host. I set up remote management VIA PowerShell and Hyper-V Management console. I guess over WINRM with CredSSP. Well everything was working fine (6-8 months or so now). I all stopped a few weeks ago. I tried to pin it down to a security update but could not. When I try to start a new PSSession or authenticate on the HVMMC I get an HTTP error code 403. Everything I have found so far seems to be related to exchange and IIS, neither of which are on these VM and the host is just Hyper-V it can't run anything else. Also at the same time I could no longer check point my VM's which is required to work for my Unitrends recovery appliance. It's like the entire management subsystem is broken. I am still able to RDP into the host and manage the VMs with PowerShell but that's it... I looked through application and error logs. But I didn't see anything that appeared relevant to me...
