Don't use the close button at the edge of the window of the running machine to forcefully shut it off, it might corrupt the virtual hard disk, and the virtual machine can't start. If the similar error message shows up again or it's stuck at "Just a moment" screen, just restart it again.

3. Click OK when the message below shows up.
