Prerequisites
- Make sure you have a Pro or Enterprise version of the Windows OS. The Home version does not provide you with this functionality! From the official documentation:
The virtual machine must have Remote Desktop Services enabled, and run Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Server 2012 R2 as the guest operating system.
Ensure that Enhanced session mode settings are enabled on the Hyper-V host.
Start Hyper-V Manager, and in the Actions section, select "Hyper-V Settings".
Make sure that enhanced session mode is allowed in the Server section. Then, make sure that the enhanced session mode is available in the User section.
Enable Hyper-V Guest Services for your virtual machine
Right-click on Virtual Machine > Settings. Select the Integration Services in the left-lower corner of the menu. Check Guest Service and click OK.
