Windows Update - 5 days at stage 3 of 3

Ctrl Alt Del

Hi all,

Got a new server reinstalled last week.
Ran a full Windows update and since last Saturday is sitting at this screen :




All HyperV and networking services are working fine,except that i cannot access the desktop and/or any management consoles.

What options do you reckon i have here !?

Thanks.

Forgive me if this sounds silly, but i have come across similar before a couple of times and just pressing ctrl alt and del brings you to the logon screen. Have you tried that?

Ctrl Alt Del

yes and no...i'm doing it remotely and Logmein kicks me out,breaks the connection !
Could be "silly me" if that was all, i'll be on site Saturday and try it from local keyboard/mouse..i may owe you a nice virtual coffee !

Will hold you to that Even found an article on it. Looks like 2008R2 from the your screenshot so may well apply.
