Solved Hyper-V messed up. Lost Virtual Machine. :"(

The avhdx is created after you take the snapshot. The vhdx is the original file. You May need to merge them for this to work. Use Hyper-V manager to inspect the disks so you know which is the parent image.

Make copies of everything before you try to create a new VM!

I just post something but then deleted the post just when Thedalton replied. Yeah.. it restore the original one, not the latest one. When I try the avhdx file it seem checkpoint is broken.

After inspect the Avhdx, it prompt me to reconnect but failed due to ID mismatch. I just click to ignore ID mismatch... is that okay?

If you made backups of these two vhdx I would try merging the two into one. Test and verify that all your data is there.

It is domain controller. I don't remember what I did to it last time. But so far so good.
But somehow I cannot run it off Gen2. I have to create Gen1 to run it.

That is not really a big concern. There are no major differences in Gen1 vs Gen2 that will affect a basic VM.

Thank you all Back to normal now.

Also, Gen2 only works for Win Server 2012 and Win10 VMs...

False. All of my CentOS 7 VM's are Gen2

OK fine.. Specifically Windows VMs. We went through this with windows server when I was installing one a few weeks ago.

I think basically if the system can't use UEFI, it can't be a Gen2 VM.

Yes, that is the restriction I believe.

Gen1 allows legacy hardware such as a NIC for PXE boot. I believe Gen1 is Bios Emulation and Gen2 is UEFI
