Windows Update + Hyper-V problem

Question

Hi.

Today, Windows Update installed some updates on my Windows 10 system (compilation of Windows 10 17134.228).

I have a hyper-v virtual machine running in the background, but when the Windows update reboots the computer, do not worry about the status of the VM and simply restart the computer. The virtual machine was turned off without any care. On this occasion, I was lucky and I did not lose any data in the VM, but I think that windows update should consider if VM is running before proceeding.

Hola.

Hoy, Windows Update instaló algunas actualizaciones en mi sistema Windows 10 (compilación de Windows 10 17134.228).

Tengo una máquina virtual hyper-v ejecutándose en segundo plano, pero cuando la actualización de Windows reinicia la computadora, no se preocupe por el estado de la VM y simplemente reinicia la computadora. La máquina virtual fue apagada sin ningún cuidado. En esta oportunidad, tuve suerte y no perdí ningún dato en la VM, pero creo que windows update debería considerar si se están ejecutando VM antes de proceder. --

Hi Juan,

Glad to hear that you didn't lose any data. I advise that you post this on TechNet forums as there are more experienced people on how to deal with Hyper V. With your Windows Updates, I advise that you make a schedule of when updates would be installed. This way, the installation process would proceed when you're not busy. Here's an article on how to do this.

Let me know if there's anything else you need.
