Windows 10: Hyper-V Manager Quick Create Fails with "Cannot load file or assembly Newtonsoft.Json"

Hyper-V Manager Quick Create Fails with "Cannot load file or assembly Newtonsoft.Json"Window 11.

I don't see the "Quick Create" option in Hyper-V Manager

Hi Tevon, my name is John D. an independent advisor happy to help you with this.

It's worth noting that the "Quick Create" option is only available on Windows 10 version 1709 or later. Therefore, I suggest verifying which version of Windows 10 you are currently using by navigating to "Settings" > "System" > "About" and checking the version and build number.

If you are running a compatible version of Windows 10 and still can't see the "Quick Create" option, I suggest following the steps below to check if this option has been disabled or to create a new virtual machine manually:

> Open the Hyper-V Manager and click on "Action" from the menu bar.

> Select "Hyper-V Settings" from the drop-down menu.

> Under "Virtual Hard Disks", click on "Default Stores".

> Make sure that the "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives" option is unchecked.

> Click on "OK" to save the changes and close the dialog box.

> Close and reopen the Hyper-V Manager to see if the "Quick Create" option appears.

If you're still unable to find the "Quick Create" option, you can create a new virtual machine manually by selecting "New" from the menu bar and following the prompts.

I hope this information helps you resolve the issue you're facing.

Best regards,

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 ?

 

Hyper-V Quick Create Iso Location

Thanks for the reply,

The Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks is where the VMs .vhd file is located.

I'm looking for the Ubuntu .iso file that the Hyper-V 'quick create' downloads and uses to build the VM.
