      Hello guys,
      i ve been in trouble with hyper v on ws 2012 r2.. the issue is that when i restart my server Hyper-v Virtual machine management service takes an eternity to stop, so i hard reboot.. after that my machines are in runnig state.. also when i try to shutdown my vm-s, their state goes to stopping critical.. any ideas would be helpful..
      thanks

          Definitely the best place to start.

            Have you tried going into the task manager and killing the processes of the VMs?

                You're killing VMWP.EXE ?

                    Is there anything running on your Hyper-V host other than the Hyper-V utilities? Lots of things can cause Hyper-V to pause if installed alongside.

                      @Alket_tux It successfully terminates the process but still shows itself as stopping critical? What does 'nothing happened' mean?

                            @Alket_tux Can you turn off that service and attempt to reboot?

                              @wirestyle22 it means that the state of the vm is running again, it just does not show the resources allocated to it

                                @wirestyle22 i tried to do that, but it did not stop, it remained in stopping state.. and in the logs it showed that the vm-s were running so this service cannot be stoppoed

                                        @Alket_tux From what I've been reading they didn't help. Hopefully yours is different. What VM's are you running? OS's and everything
