Earlier this morning a installed updates on our Windows 2016 Server and it came right back up. Then I installed some updates on the Hyper-V server it runs on and I needed to shut down the 2016 Server while I let the hypervisor reboot. When I went to shut down the Windows 2016 server it went to "Getting Windows Ready, Don't turn off your computer". It has been there for about 45 minutes now. It makes no sense because it had just finished installing updates and had rebooted. I am desperate to get by this because I need the server to restart but don't have any idea what it is doing or how long it's going to take or if it's stuck. What can I do in the situation? Microsoft's take on this that it's ok to put users in this situation with no feedback whatsoever is frustrating to say the least. How dangerous would it be for me to go ahead and shut the machine down anyway? How long do I wait before I assume I have no other choice? How can I get any idea of how far it is through the process?
