I have a Windows 2012 Server running in Azure. After I patched my server the "Windows Azure Guest Agent" service has started to crash because of a .NET Runtime error (see below). In order to fix this the service tries to restart itself, this happens each second, which causes a 100% CPU usage. This made me disable the service. Has anyone experience something similar and solved it?
Application: WindowsAzureGuestAgent.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.Exception
Stack:
at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.GuestAgent.ContainerStateMachine.AgentConfigurationSection.get_Current()
at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.GuestAgent.AgentCore.AgentCore.Start()
at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal(System.Threading.ExecutionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback, System.Object, Boolean)

And here is the Application error
