Here's how to Start & Stop Hyper-V VM using PowerShell on Windows.

i. You can start and stop a Hyper-V VM using PowerShell. Here are the commands:

**To start a Hyper-V VM:**

```
Start-VM -Name VMName
```

For example, to start a VM named "MyVM", you would use the following command:

```
Start-VM -Name MyVM
```

**To stop a Hyper-V VM:**

```
Stop-VM -Name VMName
```

For example, to stop a VM named "MyVM", you would use the following command:

```
Stop-VM -Name MyVM
```

You can also use the `-PassThru` parameter with the `Start-VM` and `Stop-VM` cmdlets to get a reference to the virtual machine object. This can be useful if you want to perform additional actions on the virtual machine, such as getting its status or setting its properties.

For example, the following command would start the VM named "MyVM" and then get its status:

```
$VM = Start-VM -Name MyVM -PassThru
Get-VM $VM
```

The `Get-VM` cmdlet can be used to get information about a virtual machine, such as its name, status, and configuration.

Here are some additional tips for starting and stopping Hyper-V VMs using PowerShell:

* **Use the `-Confirm` parameter to prompt for confirmation before starting or stopping a VM.**
* **Use the `-Force` parameter to force a VM to start or stop, even if it is not in a valid state.**
* **Use the `-ComputerName` parameter to start or stop a VM on a remote computer.**

ii. Here are some Hyper-V VM errors and solutions:

* **Error 0x80070005:** This error occurs when the virtual machine cannot access the virtual hard disk (VHD) file. To fix this, make sure that the VHD file is not corrupted and that it is accessible by the Hyper-V host. You can also try restarting the Hyper-V host.
* **Error 0x8007000B:** This error occurs when the virtual machine cannot start because it is not configured correctly. To fix this, check the virtual machine configuration and make sure that all of the settings are correct. You can also try restarting the virtual machine.
* **Error 0x80070017:** This error occurs when the virtual machine cannot start because it is not assigned enough memory. To fix this, increase the amount of memory that is assigned to the virtual machine.
* **Error 0x80070057:** This error occurs when the virtual machine cannot start because it is not assigned a network adapter. To fix this, assign a network adapter to the virtual machine.
* **Error 0x80070070:** This error occurs when the virtual machine cannot start because it is not assigned a storage device. To fix this, assign a storage device to the virtual machine.

Here are some additional troubleshooting steps that you can take if you are experiencing Hyper-V VM errors:

* Check the Hyper-V event logs for more information about the error.
* Restart the Hyper-V host.
* Update the Hyper-V drivers.
* Reinstall Hyper-V.

If you are still unable to resolve the error, you can contact Microsoft support for assistance.

iii. There are a few reasons why a Hyper-V VM might not be connecting to the network. Here are some of the most common causes and how to fix them:

* **The virtual machine is not assigned a network adapter.** To assign a network adapter to a virtual machine, open Hyper-V Manager and right-click the virtual machine. Select **Settings** - **Network adapters** and then click **Add**. Select the type of network adapter that you want to add and then click **Next**. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the wizard.
* **The virtual machine is not connected to a virtual switch.** A virtual switch is a logical network that allows virtual machines to communicate with each other and with the host computer. To connect a virtual machine to a virtual switch, open Hyper-V Manager and right-click the virtual machine. Select **Settings** - **Network adapters** and then select the network adapter that you want to connect to the virtual switch. In the **Connection** drop-down list, select the virtual switch that you want to use.
* **The virtual switch is not configured correctly.** Make sure that the virtual switch is enabled and that it is using the correct network adapter. You can also try restarting the virtual switch.
* **The network adapter is not enabled on the host computer.** Make sure that the network adapter is enabled on the host computer. You can also try restarting the network adapter.
* **The network is not working.** Make sure that the network is working and that the virtual machine is connected to the network. You can also try restarting the network.

If you have tried all of these steps and the virtual machine is still not connecting to the network, you can contact Microsoft support for assistance.

Here are some additional troubleshooting steps that you can take if you are experiencing problems with a Hyper-V VM not connecting to the network:

* Check the Hyper-V event logs for more information about the problem.
* Restart the Hyper-V host.
* Update the Hyper-V drivers.
* Reinstall Hyper-V.
