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

I have a fresh install of Windows 10 1709 Education N, and using the same image I made a Gen2 VM in Hyper-V.
I thought something was off and then I noticed that enhanced mode wasn't on at all, and it is greyed out in the menu. It is enabled in Hyper-V settings. I only found results about enhanced session crashing (in FCU), but mine's not on at all.
Anyone else experiencing the same issue, or is it perhaps working for you guys?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...with-vmconnect I have went through this guide, and I am not presented with any extra connect options with vmconnect. It just goes straight to the VM.

Here are my Hyper-V settings: https://i.imgur.com/dheqZsB.png (the issue was there before adding the remotefx adapter).

In previous versions of Windows 10 (Edu N 1703), with the same exact steps that I've done here (same image for host + guest), enhanced mode worked right out of the box, no extra fiddling.

Hyper-V functionality

I am running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit flavor on my PC. I have recently tried to give the Hyper-V a go and I have installed Windows 10 Pro 64 bit as a guest. By default, Enhanced Session Mode was available in Hyper-V Settings both to the Server and the User;
I checked them. I started the guest and the enhanced mode was on. However, when I added RemoteFX to my guest OS, the enhanced session mode was no more. Is it by design that when you add RemoteFX to your guest Os, the enhanced session mode is turned off? If
RemoteFX enhances your experience with a virtual machine (and it does), then why ENHACED session mode gets turned off?

Hyper-V on Windows Home Edition?

In my "Services (Local)", the following are listed:

Hyper-V Data Exchange Service

Hyper-V Guest Service Interface

Hyper-V Guest Shutdown Service

Hyper-V Heartbeat Service

Hyper-V Remote Desktop Virtualization Service

Hyper-V Time Synchronization Service

Hyper-V VM Session Service

Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor

Since Hyper V isn't supposed to be on Windows 10 Home, I'm wondering what's going on and why it is in my Services. Are there any other services which would appear in Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise or Education that shouldn't appear in Windows 10 Home Services?

Thanks!

 

RDP is turned on?

 

Ah, forgot to mention about that, again (also have a post on reddit).

Yes, RDP is on, and actually when using RDP to connect, enhanced session works. But not when using vmconnect.

 

I would try creating a new vm and connecting it to the current vhdx file in case something is corrupted. This only takes a few minutes.

 

Ok, that works. But when adding RemoteFX adapter, it stops working.. so perhaps they aren't meant to work together?

But I hadn't even added the RemoteFX adapter in the first VM when enhanced session wasn't working, and I tried adding it because I thought it might help.

So... solved, I guess?

EDIT: but having RemoteFX + RDP enhanced works, so why not with vmconnect?
EDIT2: found this: Hyper-V 1709 aka 16299.19: Enhanced Session incompatible with RemoteFX 3D Video Adapter?
EDIT3: and this.. RemoteFX disables Remote Desktop Session Host Multi-user Login_

 

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?

 

This may be what happened at first. I can't even remember my exact steps from the beginning because I've fiddled with everything (well, except for RemoteFX).

And I really didn't think that a new feature would otherwise be downgrading the experience... but really I should have tried disabling it first *Smile.

 

It does look like there is an issue - not obvious in this case.
