We are also having this issue - was a resolution found? Restarting our host
which has several production servers is a difficult solution to implement. . .

The VM screen no longer displays in the thumbnail view of the VS web app. The only VM management option that the VS web app gives is "Edit Configuration".

I've had this happen a couple of times. In each case, it required a reboot
of the parent.
