Hi Scott

It was built from scratch (twice now).  All was going well until the 22H2 update then it killed it off - I am just trying the 22H2 update now (on v16) so will let you know the outcome.

I'll take a look at v17 - perhaps that's a more stable version.   EDIT: that's only the Pro version so won't be bothering.

Thanks for the response.

Cheers

EDIT: Post 22H2 Update

I can confirm that applying the 22H2 update breaks the installation.  My VM is currently 'Attempting Repairs'.  You get this just after the usual 30% reboot, the VM restarts and fails, then Windows tries to fix it. This can take some time (been running about 15 mins now) but expect it to either fail or Windows will have done a revert process and removed the updates.  it would seem v16 can't work with the 22H2 update, at least not on my config.  Cheers.

Update:  Broken - Windows reverted the updates - pic attached
