Possible to change Hyper-V console resolution?


Yes, the Hyper-V integration components are included in Windows 8 or later, WIndows Server 2012 or later, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS Linux install media and will be automatically applied when these operating systems are installed on Hyper-V guest. No additional install is needed, and as far as I know not even possible.

If you are using the Hyper-V Enhanced connection, you can select any resolution you want to the same way (and in fact using almost the same dialog) as to set the resolution of a remote desktop connection:




Do not select full screen! That automatically applies the max resolution of the physical display you are using.

If you have saved, accidentally or on purpose the Enhanced Mode settings, the dialog is not shown and resolution cannot be changed. In that case you need to close the vm window, the vm can left running, then manually delete the saved Enhanced Mode configuration file. The file is called vmconnect.rdp.XXXXXXXX.config (XXXXXXXX = hexadecimal string representing the machine ID), and is located in %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Client\1.0:




Now open the vm window again and the dialog will be shown and you can set the resolution.

If you want to you can also edit the configuration file instead of deleting it to manually change the values, for instance if full screen or not, and set a resolution. Notice that the resolution can what you want to, it don't have to be a pre-defined 4:3 or 16:9 resolution. If you want to have a cube, set resolution to 1,000 * 1,000

 

Possible to change Hyper-V console resolution?


I can't use enhanced connection on WinPE (or minimal Linux) VMs. It works fine with Windows guests but with WinPE the configuration box doesn't appear and the "Enhanced session" option is always grayed out. I get no option to change the size of the resolution - in this picture WinPE is expanded to (what Hyper-V thinks is) full screen and as you can see the text is really small.





If I enter "Full screen mode" the VM screen displayed stays the same size and is just centered and surrounded by massive black borders.

I checked the %appdata% directory and have no vmconnect.rdp.XXXXXXXX.config files stored in there - but it is good to know for future.
