Server 2008, 2008 R2, 2012 stuck on "Applying computer settings" or hangs at desktop blue or black screen fix(In any enviroment including Vmware Workstation)

Hello Everyone;

Today I will be teaching you how to fix the error in case you stuck on "Applying computer settings" or hangs at desktop blue or black screen in server 2008 or 2008R2 or server 2012. This is a fix that will help you resolving the issue in a matter of seconds without any hestle.


Cause of the Issue:
The issue under consideration usually arises due to the DNS ip address entered wrongly. In case of a domain controller it always tries to locate DNS server at applying computer settings option. If the DNS server ip address is wrongly entered it will stuck at that portion and will create a dead loop again and again at the same place.

Resolution:

In order to resolve this issue restart the server in safe mode and then wait for around 10 minutes. Once the login screen appear. Login and wait for some time. In many cases it successfully login without any issue  in safe mode. If it hangs or stuck at blue/black desktop then press ctrl+alt+end key simultaneously click on task manager and kill dns service and wait. If you are using vmware workstation kill vmtools task as well and wait for some time. The desktop will appear. After that just change the dns settings accordingly.
In some cases disabling the ipv6 version may cause the issue as well. in that case after the safemode successfull login disable the ipv6 using registry edit or re-enable it. Make sure dns points to a valid server. In case of Domain controller it should point to itself or the dns server dedicated for resolution of domain controller systems.

In case of vmware workstation follow the same procedure. Only difference is that you need to kill vmwaretool and dns task both. Also sometime deleting the network card from settings may help resolving the issue but still you need to boot the server in safe mode.

Hope this will help you. Remember me in your prayers.
