Hello Adeboye Adeotan, Are there any developments with the new Technical Report Id I posted in the previous message? I have been unable to find a solution. Thank you.
Hello Luke, Apologies for the delayed response. We have analyzed the available data, and it appears that the virtual machine has been experiencing intermittent abrupt stops for a while now. We're not sure what these stops could be associated with: it can force-quitting Parallels Desktop or virtual machine process, or Mac crashing, or some similar behavior that prevented Parallels Desktop from shutting down the virtual machine gracefully.

Consistency check must be performed 02-01 14:35:57.045 F /vdisk:3514:2bd0b/ OpenDisk() returned error PRL_ERR_DISK_INCORRECTLY_CLOSED (0x80021047) 08-04 10:39:51.872 F /vdisk:27511:28252/ OpenDisk() returned error PRL_ERR_DISK_INCORRECTLY_CLOSED (0x80021047) 08-04 10:39:51.872 F /dimg:27511:28252/ Image was incorrectly closed!! Consistency check must be performed These abrupt stops have resulted in the corruption of the virtual hard drive, which has been successfully repaired each time, but now, as a result of previous occurrences, the damage to the Windows system files on that drive appears to be permanent and cannot be repaired. In this situation, we recommend that you create a new virtual machine: To create a new virtual machine with Windows 11, follow the steps from the article: https://kb.parallels.com/en/128449 In order to try to recover data from the old virtual machine, please follow these steps: 1. Open Terminal (Finder - Applications - Utilities - Terminal) and paste the following part of the command: /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/Applications/Parallels\ Mounter.app/Contents/MacOS/Parallels\ Mounter "/Users/lukekeltner/Parallels/Windows 10.pvm/harddisk.hdd" 2. Press Enter. The virtual machine hard disk should be mounted in Finder, you can locate it in the left Finder panel. Now you have access to your files from the Windows virtual machine on your Mac. You can copy all the necessary data to a Mac and then copy it to a new virtual machine. Kindly let us know if you have any further questions.
