Windows 10: Trying to activate Windows Enterprise on a Hyper V VM Run from Windows 11 Pro

Hello.I upgraded to Windows 11 Pro on my physical machine, and also created a VM using Hyper-V with about a 50/50 split between resources, as it was a fairly decent PC anyway 2TB HDD, 32gb DDR5 ram, etc.I noted it said "Windows Enterprise Evaluation license, 90x days to expiry etc, etc". My understanding was that the Windows 11 Pro came WITH a license for at least 1x VM on the machine, so I just assumed it would roll over into activating. Fast forward to a few days ago, and suddenly the VM is shutting down every half an hour to an hour. When I go to activate it, it says it can't do it due t

Not able to connect to Ubuntu VM instance running in Hyper-V on Windows 11

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the Hyper-V authorization policies on your computer. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

Check your Hyper-V authorization policies: Open the Local Group Policy Editor by pressing Win+R on your keyboard, typing "gpedit.msc", and pressing Enter. Navigate to "Computer Configuration" -> "Windows Components" -> "Hyper-V". Check if the policies "Hyper-V Administrators" and "Hyper-V Service" are configured correctly.

Make sure you have the necessary permissions: Ensure that you are logged in as an administrator account or a user with Hyper-V administrator privileges.

Restart the Hyper-V service: Open the Services window by pressing Win+R on your keyboard, typing "services.msc", and pressing Enter. Find the Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management service, right-click it, and select "Restart".

Check the VM's configuration: Make sure that the VM is still properly configured in Hyper-V Manager, and that it hasn't been accidentally deleted or removed from the list of VMs.

Reinstall Hyper-V: If none of the above steps work, you may need to reinstall Hyper-V. You can do this by going to "Turn Windows features on or off" in the Control Panel, unchecking the box next to Hyper-V, restarting your computer, and then checking the box again and restarting again.

If none of these steps work, you may need to contact your IT administrator or seek further assistance from Microsoft support.
