Hi,

Sometimes, the VM will fail to initialize if there is no enough memory can be assigned for the VM boot.
Please ensure that there is enough memory could be assigned for the VM.

If you suspect the issue is related to the Windows updates, please try to remove the updates or install latest Windows update to see if the issue could be resolved or not.
