Hi,

It's not a Hyper-V issue or a Windows 11 one. That's all just accidental.
The error you posted already hinted at that, but the vmware.log file helps to rule things out.

Here's the relevant snippet:

2023-02-25T21:41:08.323Z In(05) vmx DISK: OPEN scsi0:0 'C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Virtual Machines\Kubuntu 18.04\Kubuntu 18.04-000003.vmdk' persistent R[]
2023-02-25T21:41:08.495Z In(05) vmx DISKLIB-SPARSE: "C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Virtual Machines\Kubuntu 18.04\Kubuntu 18.04-000001.vmdk" : failed to open (14): Disk needs repair.
2023-02-25T21:41:08.495Z In(05) vmx DISKLIB-LINK : "C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Virtual Machines\Kubuntu 18.04\Kubuntu 18.04-000001.vmdk" : failed to open (The specified virtual disk needs repair).

 

Somehow the virtual disk is broken and needs repair.
However before you start ANY repair actions I strongly recommend to make a full copy of the VM.
Preferably to an external disk. This because the damage to the VM might be because your physical disk is failing and in that particular case a copy on a failing disk might be just as good as not having that copy at all.
