    Hyper-V, Windows 10 guest VM, console resolution limit 1920 x 1080


    I have a Windows 10 (10.0.18362) Hyper-V host and a windows 10 (10.0.18363) guest VM.
    The guest is a Generation 2 enhanced VM.

    It would appear that the recommended way to connect to the guest is via RDP.
    Unfortunately I can't use this method, I need to connect to the console.
    The reason is because I have a VPN client that won't run when you connect via RDP.

    My issue is this: the console uses a video driver (hypervideo.sys) that has a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 and I would like to use a much higher resolution on my 4K monitor.

    Is there an alternative video driver that I can use that will allow a higher resolution than 1920 x 1080?

    :)

    Hi there
    you could try using the video passthru although that normally needs 2 graphic cards - one for the Host and one for the VM - or 2 outputs on an existing graphics card. Then on the VM you can use the Native video driver --actually this way will improve the graphics capability of the VM significantly.

    For Console connection install openssl on Windows if you don't like RDP -- also for simple file transfer etc you can install filezilla as well as an excellent FTP client,

    Cheers
