If the Hyper-V Host Server doesn’t have internet and you have configured it after creating a VM then the server date will change and the self-signed certificate date will change as it won’t be verified by Hyper V manager and will cause launching the VM to fail to start.

Solution:

Delete old certificate and Create a new Self signed certificate.

To do so open MMC

Navigate to Certificates

Under the Personal, check the date of the certificate there ..

Delete the certificate

Open Service Console and restart all Hyper-V Services

Once the service is restarted, you’ll see a new certificate that has been automatically created

Now if you try to open the VM console again, it should work.
