Google Cloud snapshot's boot issue

Hope all are safe and doing well.

I have few running servers on google cloud and for them, snapshots are scheduled on daily basis in an incremental way.

I am trying to create a new instance on a different VPC zone by using the same snapshots but it will be giving me an error.

For reference, I have added an attachment to this question.

Please help me to resolve this issue and thanks in advance.

Assuming that you have created a Snapshot with Application consistency(VSS) enabled:

When you create a VSS snapshot, Windows Server marks the volume in the snapshot as read-only. Any disks that you create from the VSS snapshot are also in read-only mode. So, the read-only flag on the new boot disk prevents the VM instance from booting correctly.

You can follow this documentation to resolve your issue here.

If the disk you created from the VSS snapshot is a boot disk and you want to use it to boot a VM instance, you must temporarily attach the disk to a separate, existing VM instance. Once you complete the following steps, you can detach the disk from that existing VM instance and use it to boot a new VM instance.
