Is there a fix yet for this issue?
Hyper-v snapshot becomes unusable until you manually edit the corrupted xml after deleting a historical snap shot.
Easily reproducable. Just delete a historical snap and the .xml gets extra characters resulting in the corrupted state of: Cannot access the data folder of the virtual machine
Work around: Open xml and scroll to the bottom. Remove any extra characters from the bottom of the xml. Normally just one character ('>') at the end but can be an "echo" of the last 1-30 characters.
Then restart the hyper-v and it works till you descide to delete another historical snap.
This issues has been happening for over a year and is reproducable. Others have had the issue so I am suprised that it hasn't been addressed yet.
Same as locked issue:
