Hyper V virtual machine replica disappear after rebooting

Question

We have Windows server 2022 std hosted on WK22 Hyper V also that is being replicated on a Windows Server 2016.
We often experience, during our monthly windows update maintenance that everytime the replica VM on the Windows server 2016 is restarted, the replica disappears. The disks are still on the folder but it doesn't show on the Hyper V manager anymore. For our temporary workaround, we are moving the disks (replica server) outside, after that VM replica suddenly re appears, then removed it, and rebuild the replication from the main host.
May I know what is happening? It only happens to this one specific VM. By the way it runs SQL 2019 std.

Thank you.

Hi FayeMarieEntienza,

My suggestion is as follows:
You can first look at the relevant logs to find out where the error lies.
Since your environment may need to capture and analyze some traces and other information, and because the forum can do limited, if you need, we suggest you open a case in the Microsoft Technical Support Center, so that our technical engineers can provide you with more information Professional in-depth problem analysis and solutions.
The following is the path to open the case:
