    Hello

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing unexpected shutdowns with your Windows Server 2019 Standard VM. This could be due to a variety of reasons, including software conflicts, hardware issues, or corrupted system files. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

    Check for any active power requests: Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type powercfg /requests. This will display any active power requests that might be preventing your system from shutting down.

    Check the last wake event: Type powercfg /lastwake in the Command Prompt. This will display information about the last event that woke your system from sleep.

    Perform a sleep study: Type powercfg /sleepstudy in the Command Prompt. This will generate a report of system sleep transitions over the last three days.

    Generate a system sleep diagnostics report: Type powercfg /systemsleepdiagnostics in the Command Prompt. This will generate a diagnostic report for system sleep transitions.

    Generate a system power report: Type powercfg /systempowerreport in the Command Prompt. This will generate a diagnostic report for your system’s power configuration.

    Check the licensing status: Make sure your Windows Server 2019 Standard license is valid and activated.

    Run System File Check (SFC): This tool scans for corruption in Windows system files and restores corrupted files. You can run it by opening Command Prompt as an administrator and typing sfc /scannow.

    Run DISM Tool: The Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool helps fix Windows corruption errors. You can run it by opening Command Prompt as an administrator and typing DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth.
