CF11 instance only works when I start it via console

In WIndows Services, my cfintra instance is running. In CF Instance Manager, my cfintra instance is stopped, and I can't started via this page. In CF instance logs I get this:

And visiting my website simply returns a 500 error. So I started the CF instance via CMD with: coldfusion.exe -start -console and now my website is running. However, the status of the instance in Windows Services is 'stopped' and if I close the CMD window it shuts down the CF instance. I have 4 CF instance that I'm managing via the instance manager and CFINTRA is the only one I can't start and stop successfully from the manager. So, how do I debug this issue?

C'mon now. I restarted my OS for windows updates and I can't even start my instance via CMD:

---

Either the server is already running or some other application is using the HTTP port 8501.

We have tested creating multiple instances at our end. Once we apply the hotfix to the main instances, it gets applied to rest of all. It seems like that the issue is with one of your instance -CFUSIONINTRA. Can you remove it and recreate it.

Please apply ColdFusion 11 Update 1. The issue is fixed in that update.

Ha, I actually applied the update to all instances, but the hf-11-0001.properties and hotfix_001.jar files are not located in the update folders of my instance, only in the main cfusion instance folder. Plus the issue went unresolved. After I restarted the operating system this is what I got:

As you can see in the instance manager, CFUSIONINTRA has "started", but in windows services it says its "running". Website:

My installed updates:

The update wasn't applied to all instance eventhough I checked the option for all.
