Windows 10: Enhanced Session Login

Hi. I am new with Hyper-V, and I've encountered login troubles. I have a laptop with Windows 10 for Workstations; there I have created a VM with Windows 10 Pro under my work account. When I am running VM in normal mode, I have no problems; but, when I switch to enhanced session, the VM prompts me to enter password. I am using the password for the business account that I used when I was installing OS on the VM, but it does not work. On the logon screen, there is one more user "Other user". I tried all my accounts and passwords I have ever had, but everything unsuccessful. Please, may anyone exp

Hyper-V in Windows 10 1709 FCU, enhanced session not working?

Great - great feedback - this helps us all.

Suggest you report back on other forum as well.

Incidentally, sometimes you have to shutdown vm and reboot for enhanced mode to kick in - maybe that was problem first time?

 

Enhanced Session Mode question

Is the image you are using in viBoot an image of a W10 Home system or W10 Pro? Was the image of a Legacy bios/MBR machine or a UEFI/GPT one? The availability (or otherwise) of enhanced session mode depends on which you have used.

Testing this, for my Legacy/MBR images viBoot creates a Generation 1 machine, for a UEFI/GPT image it's Generation 2. For a Generation 1 VM enhanced session mode is not available for W10 Home as the guest OS, it's available if the guest OS is W10 Pro.

Turn On or Off Hyper-V Enhanced Session Mode in Windows 10


It makes no difference whether the VM was created by the Hyper-V manager or by viBoot. It's the combination of machine generation and guest OS that determines if enhanced session mode is available. Here's an example of a viBoot VM where it is (Gen. 2, W10 Pro).

 

Issues enabling Enhanced Session on 10 Pro VM

Hello guys!

This is my first post here, so go easy on me

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 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!
