Hi, Since you have tried the startup repair and fails. Tuesday, November 21, AM. I have restored the entire VM from backup now so the issue is gone, but what would be the difference from using the internal repair tool? I checked the log file SrtTrail. Weird, no errors what so ever!?! It's glad to hear that your issue has gone. That's exactly the thing There was not one single error in the log file and it did end up with an entry of a successful startup of Windows which does not suit well with the message above.

I believe that this is just another failure from MS to complete Windows Often this can be an indication of confusion by the video system which causes a change in the Display properties configuration. When it goes black it would be either PC Screen Only or Second Screen Only with the actual screen being viewed as the opposite of what was expected. In the case of Hyper-V it seems the Display configuration is only a single plane which represents whatever your other monitors can produce as a composite rectangle.
For example, I have my Surface mounted in Portrait orientation and that results in a bigger Y-axis than my other widescreen monitor but somehow the Hyper-V VM sees either just one monitor or something bigger that needs to take a chunk out of the tablet monitor. It really is unpredictable and inexplicable IMO. Robert Aldwinckle Wednesday, November 22, PM. Anyway, now your problem is resolved. If the issue persists again, feel free to ask here and upload the new created log for analysis.
