Most system admins and developers are complaining about the System.NullReferenceException error message, which basically crashes the console when users try to access virtual machines or change their properties. All the impacted users confirm everything was working perfectly fine before the upgrade, and concluded the Anniversary Update is the element that ruined it all.
Windows 10 v1607 crashes virtual machine admin consoles
The error looks like this in the event log: Application: VmmAdminUI.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception. Exception Info: System.NullReferenceException at Microsoft.VirtualManager.UI.WpfControls.ElementHostGC.GetFieldValue[[System.__Canon, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]](System.Type, System.String) It appears these crashes are caused by incompatibility issues between the VMMs and Windows 10 v1607 since so many users are plagued by the same issue immediately after upgrading to the latest Windows version.
