  3. How to force enhanced session mode on Hyper V

    Before posting, i read from learn.microsoft about Hyper-V, i have also read most of "Introduction to Hyper-V on Windows 10" pdf as well.

    However i am missing something..

    The thing goes like this:

    I have a Win10 Pro desktop. and want to use Hyper-V to install linux OS.

    From the Hyper-V Manager, under the Hyper-V settings, the enhanced session mode and the enhanced session policy are activated.

    Moreover, the remote desktop is also enabled.

    As far as i know the prerequisites from the Microsoft/Hyper-V side are all checked.

    However this is not the case as in the VM (when the linux OS is already installed and running) i cannot see the USB devices that are connected to the host (Mouse, keyboard and internet connection are working however).

    In the begining i though it was the linux OS fault and thus i tried 3 different distributions. the results however were the same, local resources could not be used.

    I was running Hyper-V in basic mode.

    On top of that, i noticed that in the VMconnect window (in all my tries) the enhanced session under the View tab was greyed out.

    Thus now i'm thinking maybe the fault is on the Hyper V side.

    Can anyone help me out please.

    Is there more information that i can give you so that you can help me out?

    Thank you in advance!

    Cannot Use 'Enhanced Session' on Win11 Pro Hyper-V VM

    Issues enabling Enhanced Session on 10 Pro VM

    Hello guys!

    This is my first post here, so go easy on me Cannot Use 'Enhanced Session' on Win11 Pro Hyper-V VM :)

    I have been racking my brain, and have done search after search on how to solve my issue, but I have come to no suitable solution as of yet. I've seen that folks have been able to solve the problem, but no description as to what they did to solve it. It's almost like it just magically starts working Cannot Use 'Enhanced Session' on Win11 Pro Hyper-V VM :) I've had no such luck as of this writing.

    Here is the problem:

    I am attempting to install Windows 10 Pro x64 build 14393 on a Hyper-V Host which is running the same OS.

    I have created the VM with no issues and installed with no issues. I can not for the life of me find out why I can not enable the features of enhanced session to be able to connect external drives, USB sticks, enable audio and enhanced graphics, etc.

    So far the steps I have taken include:

    1) VM created as Generation 2
    2) Verified "Allow enhanced session mode" is checked in Hyper-V Enhanced Session Mode Policy server settings
    3) Verified "Use enhanced session mode" is checked in Hyper-V Enhanced Session Mode user settings
    4) Verified all integration services are checked under the VM settings
    5) Verified Remote Desktop Services service is running on VM

    Perhaps there is something I am missing? At this point, when I connect to the VM there is no ability to connect to local resources. Additionally, the "Enhanced session" option under the View menu on the VM is greyed out.

    Any assistance in getting this resolved would be greatly appreciated!
