    How to Create a Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection shortcut in Windows 10


    The Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions include the Hyper-V virtualization technology. Hyper-V enables running virtualized computer systems on top of a physical host. These virtualized systems can be used and managed just as if they were physical computer systems, however they exist in virtualized and isolated environment. Special software called a hypervisor manages access between the virtual systems and the physical hardware resources. Virtualization enables quick deployment of computer systems, a way to quickly restore systems to a previously known good state, and the ability to migrate systems between physical hosts.

    You can use Virtual Machine Connection to connect to a Hyper-V virtual machine (guest) on a host server (ex: your PC). The hosts and virtual machines that are available in Hyper-V Manager are the same ones available in Virtual Machine Connection.

    This tutorial will show you how to create or download a Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection shortcut in Windows 10.

    *note You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to use this shortcut.

    Where is the Hyper V Manager, How to I start it ?

    I am trying to setup an XP virtual Machine on Windows 10 Pro.

    I followed the steps in Neil Peterson article of 5/9/2016.

    System Requirements - done - ok

    Install Hyper-V - done - ok

    Create a Virtual Switch - skip

    Create a Virtual Machine

    Create a Virtual Machine with Hyper-V Manager

    These steps walk through how to manually create a virtual machine and deploy an operating system to this virtual machine.


    • In Hyper-V Manager, click Action > New >
      Virtual Machine
      to bring up the New

    Uhhhhhhhhh - this step obviously implies one knows

    1) Where the Hyper-V Manager is

    2) How to start the Hyper-V Manager

    Isn't that odd ?

    Create Shortcut of Hyper-V Virtual Machine in Windows


    Another easy to follow tutorial @Kari*Biggrin

    I not only successfully created my Ubuntu 15.10 shortcut, I was able to customize it for the OS it was for(in this case Wily Werewolf).
    I went to Bing Images found me a small JPG image,
    opened it in Paint,
    and reduced the size, in this case to 256x149.

    I then "saved as" PNG(to convert to ICO in next step, a must)
    Then I went to ConvertICO.com - Convert PNG to ICO and ICO to PNG and converted it to ICO.

    Then I saved it on my system where it will never be moved, in my case a Theming Stuff library I have created long ago.

    Then I just went into the shortcuts properties, and changed the icon.

    And the results marked in the red square:
