This issue happened once and was resolved by executing bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto. It happened again and I also tried to execute the command bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto but it does not help this time.

Did you try running podman machine stop first?

No

But after trying it gives same error as before.

[Luap99]

Can you try running the stop command before the reboot and see if this works?

Also please copy and paste your terminal output and not use screenshots for the terminal.

 podman machine rm
The following files will be deleted:

Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N] y
Error: failed to remove machines files: unable to find connection named "podman-machine-default"

Now I'm not even able to remove my previous machine. Should I manually delete those files and start again from podman machine init?

[Luap99]

I think it might already deleted the other files even when it report this error. Looks like we got in a bad state somehow. Does podman machine ls still show it after the rm command?

The machine was gone and I've gone through the podman machine init process again. I've tried to execute podman machine stop command before rebooting the machine, and tried directly reboot the machine, and also tried cut off the power and re-start the machine. None of those can reproduce this issue. The current VM can always be brought up by podman after reboot now.

so its safe to say we got into some unknown state and we can no longer replicate this? if so, is it worth closing this until it happens again ?

Not able to reproduce. Closing this issue now. Thanks!
