Situation: The client has VM running Windows 2012 R2 on windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V. They can’t login the VM with “Apply Computer settings” screen forever.
Troubleshooting: 1. Turn off and turn on VM doesn’t fix the problem.
2. Running Safe mode has the same problem.
3. We find the host has a Windows update. Installing and restarting the host fixes the problem.
4. The problem we had is the server Windows update is default settings Install updates automatically. Whenever major windows updates installed, the RD server has a problem and the restating takes along time with “Apply Computer settings”. The resolution is change the Windows update default settings to Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them.
