I am having this issue that after doing an update that updating my Bios and windows 11 to: "2025-01 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 24H2 for x64 (KB5049622)"

and,

"2025-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5050009)"

non of my Hyper-V VM's are starting unless I turn off TPM but then windows 11 won't work. They all give the error saying:

I have tried creating new VM's, it did not fix the issue.

    Just a shot in the dark here.

    You mentioned updating the BIOS.

    Did you check, after the BIOS update, that the BIOS update didn't wipe settings related to virualisation support? e.g. turn off a setting you had previously turned on? I have seen BIOS updates do that in the past, so, it may be worth checking....
