BSOD with "PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA" Ntfs.sys in a Win10 VM

[cuencacaballero]

Hello.

For mobility reasons I have a VM on an external drive connected by USB to the computer. The VM is a Windows 10.

Yesterday, while I was using it (with VMware Workstation 15.5.1), the VM froze.

Since that moment, when I restart it, when the Windows 10 logo appears when starting to boot, the message "Preparing automatic repair" appears, and a few seconds later a BSOD appears with the code "PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA" "What was wrong: Ntfs .sys". After a few seconds, the process repeats itself and the machine never starts.

Could someone tell me how to solve the problem?

The vmware.log file is attached.
