Windows 10: Hyper-V machine ignores FILES=100 statement in the CONFIG.SYS file.

Where do I specify the number of Open Files in a Hyper-V Virtual Machine?There actually is a config.sys file that is located in the root of the C: drive, but the Virtual Machine ignores that. Such that when I open a Legacy FoxPro App the number of open file is still at the default 40.

Hyper V deativication

Hi Geoffrey,

Hyper-V lets you run an operating system or computer system as a virtual machine on Windows. Before proceeding in disabling
Hyper-V, please create a backup of your files for security purposes.

To disable Hyper-V, please follow the steps below:

• On the Cortana search box, type Turn Windows Features on or off and press
  Enter.
• Look for the Hyper-V folder.
• Uncheck the tick-box next to the main Hyper-V folder and click
  OK.
• Restart your PC.

Should you have further questions, please let us know.
