Error on startup the vm

Hello,

I have a VM that was working perfectly.
But today I went to start the VM and it doesn't start anymore.

Attached are the print screens of the errors and the list of files.

Thanks!

The ...-s018.vmdk is missing.
Please check whether this file has been e.g. quarantined by your A/V.

André,

I don't have A/V and I don't know why the file was deleted.

I copied the -s017.vmdk file and rename it to -s018.vmdk.
The VM turned on, but Windows does not start, it starts with the restore option.
Is there any other process I can do to start Windows correctly?

Thanks!

You say you don't have A/V, but considering you use Windows have you really disabled its default antivirus? If not, you actually have A/V. 

Cheers

Yes, Windows default A/V is active. Windows Defender.

I found a file with the same size as the deleted .vmdk in the Quarantine folder, but it is not listed in Windows Security for me to restore.
