Greetings,
I started a ticket on this, but I thought I would posts here and see if anyone else has the same problem.
So, My original drivepool/scanner hard drive gave up the ghost abruptly.
With that in mind, I decided to move the hardware of the pc into another box. Now, bear in mind, none of the hardware changed, except for the SSD, which was replaced under warranty with the same exact kind/model.
Drivepool and Scanner had been running on this pc for probably nearly a year without any issue.
So I re-installed Windows Server 2012 R2. Fresh install. It has Hyper-V and Chrom
