    I had this problem this morning with a windows 10 virtual machine.
    After trying various solutions from the forums I ended up with this process which eventually fixed the problem..

    1: Resumed the virtual machine in Parallels desktop and waited for the error message
    2: Stopped the windows vm process with mac Activity monitor (Parallels couldn't stop it)
    3: In the Parallels vm configuration, hardware tab, disk page, changed the source to disconnected
    4: Restored the windows vm image from time capsule backup last night
    5: Exited Parallels desktop
    6: Restarted Parallels desktop
    7: In the vm configuration, hardware, disk page, changed the source to the restored windows vm image
    8: Closed the configuration page
    9: Restarted the windows vm

    Everything then ok

    So restoring a Time Machine backup of the virtual machine did the trick. We're glad to know that it worked for you. And thank you for sharing the steps in detail.
