Service Manager Method:

  1. Restart Hyper-V-VMMS service: Click on the server in the Hyper-V Manager and then click Action > then click Stop Service.
  2. Click Action, and then click Start Service. (if you are unable to get this option, click on blank space on console menu, where Roles > server name etc.)

PowerShell Method

  1. On the computer that has the stopped service, open a command prompt as local administrator and type the following:
C:\PS>restart-service vmms
