Sollution:
You can solve the issue by killing the Windows module installer process.If we hardboot server , there was chance of windows OS crash. For this we have to use some third party tool call "System Lizard Remote Process Explore".
- Confirm the service name and path of Windows module installer from properties of the service.
- Install System Lizard Remote Process Explore in same domain server which previously had access to hanged server. (you can use server which you use to check the remote service )
- Run "Add computer Wizard" to add your server.
- Connect to the hanged server.
- Kill the TrustedInstaller.exe process.
