I can see from the logs that the issue is coming from HCS:

I wonder if the service is running. Can you share the output of (elevated command prompt):

sc start vmcompute

And check if that solves the issue ?

[muhamad]

It seems like the Windows installation was courpted because it wasn't able to find vmcompute as installed service. Reinstalling a clean copy fixed the problem.

Sorry to hear that you had to reinstall to solve the issue. Closing since the issue is resolved.
