Windows server 2016 - VM doesn't start automatically
Hyper-V: Windows server 2016.
VM OS: Windows server 2012.
Even if the VM Automatic Start Action setting is Always start, sometimes, after Hyper-V restart the VM doesn't start and stays in an off state.
Tried to change the startup delay without success.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Did you ever find a resolution for this issue?

I'd check the event logs (Hyper-V-VMMS and Hyper-V-Worker). It may have tried and failed for some reason. Also check here and with manufacturer that hardware is supported.

Having the same issue with replication enabled. This needs an urgent fix - if my server crashes the VMs do not automatically come back up when the server comes up.

I'd start a new thread detailing your issues.
- It seems that if I set the VM to always start automatically with a delay of 0 seconds, the servers do come up. This is still not ideal.
