My host system is Windows Pro x64
When I open a hyper-v window, short seeing the hyper-v text. It is switching to that view:
As guest I tried arch, ubuntu and ubuntu-server. I also tried Gen1 and Gen2 both don't working. A buggy work around just with arch is to press enter on not visible bootmenu. After the save and start, but this don't working on ubuntu.
Any idea would help.

It's a known problem between GRUB and Hyper-V during the installation. You can solve the problem with few steps.
Requirement
- SSH Server on VM
You need to check SSH Server at the installation to access to your VM without Hyper-V viewer.
Solve black screen issue
Before any modification, be sure that you saved the files with :
cp <file> <file>.old
Connect to your VM through SSH (e.g. using PuTTY or WinSCP) and edit the grub file :
sudo vim /etc/default/grub
Delete "quiet splach" attribute in lines :
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
Uncomment the line :
GRUB_TERMINAL=console
Save the file before exit.
You also need to update grub to apply the new configuration :
sudo update-grub
Reboot your VM with the following command :
sudo reboot
Try to access it through Hyper-V viewer.
