Ok, so even though says file missing, it is there and I can browse to it and starts VM but then get warning.
Looking at the 000004 file I notice that one entry is physically missing;
RW 8323072 SPARSE "Windows 10 Dev-000004-s017.vmdk"
I had earlier removed a snapshot through snapshot manager. I can only assume S017 was that file.
I did try removing that entry from the .vmdk but still fails.
I looked at parent .vmdk referenced in 000004 file and that one, and its parent files all exist.
To your questions:
No -tmp file in folder
There is a lck file, i have seen this before, renaming it aside and trying to load VM again made no difference.
files output attached and the .vmx renamed to allow attaching here.
Thanks for assistance so far, my backup is older than I thought ![]()

Added 000004 file as requested
