Windows Server 2012 R2 Stuck on "Undoing Changes"

[linktoinsanity]

Hi there,

I have a Hyper-V virtual machine which is a new load, which we ran Windows Updates on, stuck on a screen saying "We couldn't complete the updates. Undoing Changes. Don't turn off your computer" However it has sat there for hours now.

I have tried following a guide on this site here: https://social.technet.microsoft.co...all-on-generation-2-vms?forum=winserverhyperv

And it does not seem to make any difference. Even booting the machine up in Safe Mode makes no difference. Does anyone have any ideas?

Googling just links back to the same thing I have tried. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. At least this shows the issues is more widespread than just us.

Have you tried the secure boot fix? It's does not work for us, but might for you?

We would prefer not to have to start again after getting a certificate installed and working, however it looks like that may be our only option too.

Unless of course, someone else has another fix?

We resolved it by restoring a backup from before that morning's restart. It still had installed most of the updates, but not that troubled one. I removed and hid the update that I read caused the issue. It's been fine since.
