Hello,
yesterday I decided to install update KB4132216 on my Windows Server 2016 Standard. I'm using Hyper-V with one virtual machine installed and running. I decided to make a restart and I was sure the virtual machine will shutdown automatically as always. Unfortunatelly it took 2 hours to shut down the host and after that I see an error:
"One or more virtual machines were stopped without saving the state because the virtual machine did not respond to attempts to save the state. "
Now I can't run my Hyper-V server because it says "Connecting to Virtual Machine Management service". I was trying to restart that service but after 30 seconds I keep getting an error 1053. I think that's the reason why shutting down the host took so much time. I can only stop the service by deleting the vmms.exe process, but after starting it again, nothing changes. What can I do? Is there any solution without rebooting the host? I suppose the reboot won't help anyway.
Regards, Chris
