but when i do a ctrl alt delete
it keeps spinning like
after few minutes i come back at the first screen. sometimes after 3 minutes, sometimes after 5 minutes...
When i reset the server all works fine again. But after few days, i got same problem.

No in the Windows Event log are no errors at all!
the host is running ESX 6.0.0

Can you ping the server when it starts to fail?
ASKER
yes i can, even if i share a map this seems to work. i just cannot logon
Are you using a local profile, or roaming profile, tried a different user account ?
ASKER
it is a local profile. and i cannot get to use an other account.
when i press ctrl alt delete normaly you get the screen to enter username and password. but i do not get there. as soon as i press ctrl alt delete i got the circle running

have you tried safe mode ?
make sure landscape is selected and not landscape flipped. all tablet services off

VMware Tools installed, and the Host is compatible with 2016 ?
