Windows Server 2025 Standard - failing to load sign in screen
Hello all Has anyone come across an issue with login into their Win Svr 2025 Standard via the GUI or RDP? Had a good google and can't see much of info out there but since last week I lost the ability to RDP or even locally sign into my server running Hyper-V, VMs work fine. When connecting via RDP the session is initiated - get past credential prompt and cert warning but never gets to establish the session. Since the server is hosted on prem, I was able to pop down to the comms room but when I tried to login via GUI after hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del loading screen comes up but never follows through to display username and password textboxes. Since this is a production system I can't just reboot the whole lot. In the meantime, I've tried restarting both WinLogon.exe and LogonUI.exe processes via CIMSession both were showing twice and after terminating each the number of processes come down to 1 but still no joy signing in. Any ideas community? New to the community so apologies in advance if I posted in the wrong place. Best wishes MichalI have an complicated problem for Windows Update in Windows Server 2016

I have built my first Windows Server 2025 VM on HyperV and trying to assign an IP address. I want the VM's to be like an actual server so I Created an external vswitch. The HyperV server IP is 172.16.1.41 with a physical gateway of 172.16.1.5. I have tried to assign the new VM with 172.16.1.42/255.255.255.0 and the Gateway is 172.16.1.5 also. However, I cannot get a positive ping. Do I need another VSWITCH configured or what am I missing?Windows Server 2025 DC with two network adapters registers the NAT IP in DNS

Hyper-v Ubuntu 26.04LTS Multiple DHCP entries
Good evening, am running windows server 2022 datacenter edition, which is running multiple hyper-v machines. I have been installing a new instance of ubuntu 26.04.1LTS but have noticed something weird. Maybe you could assist. Issue: When fresh install Ubuntu 26.04.1 into a VM using hyper-v, I notice 2 IP addresses appear in windows DHCP (192.168.40.20, 192.168.40.21). When I shut down the instance only one disappears (192.168.40.21). If I delete 192.168.40.20 and restart the VM instance both Ip addresses reappear in DHCP. Points to note: Image was downloaded direct off the website with no changes (have redownloaded to make sure image is not broken) Have tried using a different name for the server Have noticed the ubuntu instance only picks up one address (192.168.40.21) for the adaptor. Am unable to ping 192.168.40.20 or connect to that address via ssh. Would anyone have any idea, where the second IP address would be coming from in DHCP?
