Machine stuck in “Applying computer settings” state

I was facing a problem where one of our VMs was stuck in “Applying computer settings” state after a reboot.

I followed the below steps the fix the issue:

• Logged in to the VM in Safe mode with Networking
• Removed the VM from domain
• Rebooted the VM
• Flushed DNS cache by using ipconfig /flushdns
• Released the IP by using ipconfig /release
• Renewed the IP by using ipconfig /renew
• Added the VM back to domain
• Rebooted the VM
