title: JIRA Locked after restarts on virtual machine
body: <p>Im currently running JIRA 6.3.8 on a Windows Server 2008 virtual machine ,which periodically restarts outside of business hours to apply updates.</p>
  
  <p>The result of this is that after every restart, JIRA breaks, stating that the home directory is locked, and a number of plugins fail to load. This has been a recurring problem that I have attempted a number of solutions for, including increasing JVM memory, deleting bundled plugins, creating exceptions in the firewall  and ultimately, reinstalling JIRA(Which doesn't always solve the problem).</p>
  
  <p>Are there any more permenant solutions to this? </p>
  
  <p>EDIT: after some investigation It seems that this is a common problem with seemingly no concrete solution. According to some users, Virtual machines shut down faster and this is causing issues as JIRA doesn't shut down properly, causing these errors</p>
  
  <p>Based off of some comments made, I am unable to install JIRA onto a Linux/Unix VM as It is an enterprise environment and I am only allocated a Windows VM, and disabling automatic updates is not an option due to securty policies regarding the VMs</p>
