Hi all,
Since last saturday, we face an Windows Server 2016 boot failure with error "CRITICAL_SERVICE_FAILED".
This happened following our Windows Update cycle, so I guessed it was due to last installed updates.
Then, I restored system disk (via Veeam B&R) 1 day before update, and same issue !
So it seems to not be related to Windows Update.
The only way I have found to make Windows boot "normally" is to chose "boot without drivers signature verification".
After this "successful" boot, I applied latest updates from our WSUS, but the next reboot attempt failed.
sfc /scannow command shows there are errors it cannot repair.
I have launched DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth command which has finished correctly, then relaunched sfc /scannow and and no change...
Every time I reboot this VM (under VMware 6.7), boot fails and I have to select "boot without drivers signature verification".
We have several VM based on the same image without any issue.
Any idea please ?
Thank you.
Regards,
