How can I fix the error code 0x80070569?

Before trying the advanced steps, follow the preliminary checks below:

Fix issues regarding Hyper-V authorization to connect on your PC.
Disable Firewall services for antivirus software.

If the error persists, run the following steps:

1. Run gpupdate /force on the Hyper-V host

Sign in to the machine as a Domain Administrator.
Go to the Server Manager console and install the Group Policy Management feature.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Open the GPMC MMC snap-in and navigate to the policy that manages User Rights.
Right-click on the policy and select Edit from the drop-down menu, then include the following in the entries for Log on as a service: NT Virtual Machine\Virtual Machines
Exit the Policy editor.
Left-click the Start button, type Command Prompt, and select the Run as administrator option.
Click Yes on the User Account Control prompt.
Copy and paste the following in the command bar and press Enter to run it: gpupdate /force

Running the above command will refresh the policy and remove the user permissions that the policy has added. Hence, the user rights defined in the local security policy will take effect and resolve the permissions issue.

2. Edit the Group Policy Editor

Press the Windows + R keys, type gpedit.msc, and click OK to open the Group Policy Editor.
Navigate through this path: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment
Double-click on Log on as a batch job.
Click on Add User or Group button.
Enter Administrator into the empty space, click Check Names, and click OK.
Now, select Apply and click OK.
