Is it possible to be after force restarting Proxmox server?
you mean this started happening after a force restart?

the VM do not see hard disk
if you force restarted then it might be corrupted.

* do you have backup or snapshot of the VM?

* is this the only VM affected? can you boot different VM from the same storage?

I haven't backup, mostly it happens after restore my proxmox server.

I'm installing new Windows VM.

Current time I have 1 Linux VM and 3 Windows VM, Linux and 1 WIndows VM works fine, but with the 2 VM same problem, and there are same storage.

If your VM is windows 7 you need to set the ostype to windows 7.
I mean, ostype already stand 7/2008r2 and another windows 7 operation system works fine with ostype 10/2016/2019

then it could be the storage causing problems. can you try creating another VM on the same storage and see if it works as expected?

Yes, I already tried it, and it's working, even I tried restore backup of the VM, which doesn't work, it's also working.

Could this parameter be the cause of this problem?

I am using SPICE, and in guide a man said change i440fx to q35, now I tried change this parameter another Windows VM, and it also give me same error, after put it by default , it start working, but other VM's working fine with this parameter.
