Patches Required in Hyper-V Environment

Q: I'm deploying a new Hyper-V server. What patches should I apply?

A: After you run Windows Update, you should typically download and apply a number of additional patches. See the following Microsoft TechNet articles for a list of patches to apply:

• Hyper-V: Update List for Windows Server 2012

In addition, most Hyper-V hosts are clustered, so you should also check out the following Microsoft Support articles:
