Build 26280.ge_prerelease.240824-1650

I am running the Windows 2025 domain controllers deployed on Hyper-V virtual machines. Hyper-V is installed on Standard D16s v3 Azure virtual machine.

Scenario 1

When I create a Azure VM snapshot and then deploy a new Azure VM from that snapshot, the Windows 2025 Hyper-V based domain controllers won’t boot (there is a back screen with infinite loading spinner).

Scenario 2

– A Hyper-V checkpoint is created for Hyper-V based domain
– The domain controller is restored from the checkpoint
– The domain controller is backed up using Windows Server backup
– The domain controller is restored to a new Hyper-V VM from Windows server backup
– After the recovery, it won’t boot with same back screen with infinite loading spinner as in Scenario 1

Both scenarios work well in all previous Windows versions.
