Restarting a VM for its updates is weird - disconnected but running
Two weeks ago, on my Win 10 PC, I created my first virtual machine ever, using Hyper-V. The VM is Win 11 Pro 64-bit version 21H2.
Just now, in the Win 11 VM, I ran Update. Eventually, it prompted me to restart, and I did. That disconnected me from the VM, and (in Hyper-v Manager) if I try to reconnect, I get error messages.
However, in Hyper-V Manager, I can see that the VM is still "Running", with varying CPU usage.
OK - is this normal? And what should I do?
Thanks.

I'm the OP. After waiting some minutes, I was able to reconnect to my Win 11 VM, and the VM indicates that the updates were installed.
So I guess this temporary "Disconnected-but-Running" scenario is normal? What is your experience?
