Win2012R2 Hyper V "Integration Services Setup" upgrade fails & causes error Code 52 for important Hyper V drivers

Our Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper V server hosts a Windows Server 2012 R2 VM. An update brought an Integration Services Setup upgrade to version 6.3.9600.18692 (I haven't had time to locate which update this is). This upgrade doesn't appear to complete successfully in the VM, and a number of critical devices (including the NIC) have an exclamation sign on them. The Device status in the device properties says:
"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"

After much research, I was able to implement a temporary fix by pressing F8 on the VM's boot, and selecting "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement". The VM then boots into the OS fine, and the devices do not have an error.

But this is just a temp (and potentially unsafe) fix. This appears to have occurred previously when Integration Services Setup upgraded to version 6.3.9600.18398, with MS releasing a "fix".

I would like to resolve it permanently. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the VM's OS up to date?

Yes. Both Host & VM are up to date.

Those are pretty dated NICs.

Remove the vNIC from the VM.
Delete the vSwitch
Create a native team with the two ports
Create a vSwitch on the team shared with the host OS
Add a new vNIC to the VM and bind to the vSwitch

Try IS again.

Thanks Philip, but the Intel supplied drivers only do to Server 2012, not R2. So I am unable to team the NICs.

New-NetLbfoTeam -Name MyTeam -TeamMembers "Ethernet","Ethernet 2"

Or, in Server Manager on the Local Server page click teaming.

Use the native teaming in the OS. We do that for all of our standalone and clustered virtualization solutions.

Apologies Philip, I missed your suggestion for "native" teaming. I did this & still no go.

Just to highlight, the issue is affecting more than the NIC. I've attached a screenshot of all affected devices, along with the message that all devices affected have in their respective "status" windows.

Boot to Safe Mode.

Start a command prompt
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 [Enter]
start devmgmt.msc [Enter]
View --> click on Show hidden devices

Delete anything that should not be there. Once done, remove the Hyper-V components and reboot. They should re-install correctly.

Thanks for the suggestion Philip, but im unable to boot into the OS in (any) Safe Mode. When i send the Alt+Ctl+Del key at the prompt, I get an error "Could not send keys to the virtual machine" (See screenshot)

I did try your suggestion booting in normal mode, but still same issue remains.

Suggestion: Create a new VM. Attach the existing VM's VHDX files. Boot. Does the problem go away?

I have tried that twice, on 2 other hosts, and the same problem persists.

Thanks Philip. I was hoping to avoid that :-) We have a heap of 3rd party software that's a PIA to restore. Plus, i'm afraid we'll still have the same issue once we run updates again.
