Windows 10 fails to boot

I too have the same or very similar problem today. At startup Windows installed an update. The update took quite a while to install which was the first sign of concern. After the update did install I basically just get a black screen and a severely disabled iMac. I don't use the Windows VM daily, however I was working in Windows just fine earlier in the week. It must be something tied to the recent update for Windows this week.

 

Resetting the VM didn't work for me, however after reinstalling Parallel Tools things appear to be working OK again for the moment. I have my fingers crossed and Daumen gedruckt that this has fixed the problem experienced yesterday.

 

Hello. Sorry, but where can I find "Actions > Update Parallels Tools"? I have the Parallels Control Center Open, and I don't see it in the various sub-menus. thanks.

 

I found it ... but selecting Install Parallels Tools didn't work. seems like it crashes too soon after trying to automatically install parallel tools. below is a screen shot ... with the dialog box showing parallels is trying to update tools. it crashes right at about 10%. After the crash, it does send a problem report to parallels ... the most recent on has and ID number of 128919986.

should I uninstall parallels and windows and reinstall? if so, I assume that I will be able to reuse the software Keys, right?

 

I also get this ... see screen shot. I tried restarting again ... but got the message below. any suggestions would be appreciated as I am a bit new with this stuff.

I am using the standard edition of Parallels.

 

It seems to be working now.
I opened Configure under Actions while Parallels was trying to update Tools (before it got to 10%) ... see screenshot below ... and just let it sit and the update got to 100%. I restarted Windows, and its been working since. see screen shots. Probably just coincidence, but I am happy to be up and running.
