Hyper-V Machine failed to restore

Hyper-V Machine failed to restore

Hi All,

Today i’ve updated my Windows Server 2025 to Preview Build 29558

Under known issues they state:

Users may experience failures when attempting to upgrade from earlier previews (build 26525 and older). VMs may fail to upgrade or start after upgrade from older preview builds impacting live migration and failover cluster scenarios.

The Update was successful

But the VM’s in Hyper-V wouln’t start anymore:

‘ICESRV02’ failed to restore The virtual machine ‘ICESRV02’ is not compatible with physical computer ‘ICESRV00’ ‘ICESRV02’ failed to restore. (Virtual machine ID)

The Fix was easy: Delete the Saved State

Start the VM

All VM’s successfuly startet

Probably should stop the VM’s bevore installing an Update. But that did not occur so far, so i was not worried.

Regards
Andres Bohren
