Windows 10: Win10 HyperV service 'mostly but not completely broken' after 1803 upgrade...

It's very strange...


I have a couple of linux server VMs running in my local dev workstation here.

( we also have a HyperV core server installation on-premises, but it's too loaded up to add any more VMs to it...)

Deleted one the other day, and tried to restore... restored (imported) OK, but on restart the VM (Centos) begins loading its kernel, then the screen opens to a larger one with garbage video at the top. CPU on 'running' VM just climbs and climbs til it hits 50% and flatlines. The VM isnt really booting! Have to POWER DOWN the VM.


Deleted VM, tried making brand new VM... it defaults to config version 8.3 and same problem. I can boot it from ISO and install Centos on it, but when it's done installing and asks for reboot, the VM just hangs. I looked at some stuff online and it looks like VMs created with versions higher than 8.0 refuse to run unless you are running 'the full HyperV server'?? hmmm...


So... Tried making a Version 5.0 VM in powershell, worked OK. Installed Centos on it, again OK till final reboot. HUNG!


Tried mounting backup VHDXs to the newly made V5.0 - same issue.. hangs on boot, CPU climbs! No heartbeat, have to shutdown.


THE ODD THING is that my other original ( made a couple years ago!) Version 5.0 CentOS VM is still happily ticking away on this same machine, running fine .

But I suddenly cannot restore a VM here anymore, and I cannot create a new one either!

THIS IS HOLDING UP PRODUCTION... anybody know a fix??


PS: (maybe unrelated?) I see a bunch of these errors in system log, but nothing else related to HyperV:

Failed to get Device VlanID Regkey for Physical NIC /DEVICE/{0550DDDD-7D49-4C01-9757-6F26E5982265}. vSwitch will be created on this Physical NIC without VlanID being inherited by HostVNic. Status = Object Name not found.


"TIA"!!

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

hyperv no longer disable instantgo?

I installed win10 and enabled hyperv. In win8.1 instantgo will be disabled but in windows 10 it seems still on. Is hyperv no longer conflicting with instantgo?

Thanks
