Hyper-V hangs when deleting VM
I have Windows 10 Pro, build 19045. I am trying to delete a VM inside Hyper-V, but when I click on Delete, the computer hangs..continuous hourglass. Tried to close Hyper-V manager, but doesn't close. My only option is to do a hard shutdown of the computer. Any suggestions or solutions? Anyone else having similar issue?
Hyper-V on Windows 10
Let me ask for a clarification about Hyper-V on Windows 10 (and Windows 11). On page https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/performance-tuning/role/hyper-v-server/architecture about Windows Server I read that "Hyper-V features a Type 1 hypervisor-based architecture.". It means that Hyper-V works as a bare-metal hypervisor, is it correct? Is it the same for Hyper-V on Windows 10? Regards marius
Hyper-V adds multiple "Default Switch" network adapters
Hello, I am using a Windows 10 Enterprise 1803 and Hyper-V Manager 10.0.17134.1. I created multiple virtual switches and use the as well. I think the starting point of my issue is the leck of a physical RJ45 socket at my laptop. Because of this I need to use adapters. Additionally I work at different desktops with different adapters and docing stations. Therfore I have changing network adapters. My issue is an increasing amount of "Default Switch" network adapters. I am not sure wich action caused an increase but I had 38 "Default Switch" network adapters two or three weeks ago. Now I have 57 "Default Switch" network adapters!!! I can't delete them. I assume the issue is in corealation with the fact I can't change something at my default switch. I don't know when I got this state or why. Do someone know how to solve the issue? Can I easly uninstall Hyper-V and install it again without loosing virtual mashines. And hopfiully without exporting the VM's? Thank you Nico HollmannStatic DCHP Address-Binding on Hyper-V Private vSwitches?
Recently got a new laptop with Windows 10 Pro. Prior to this, always used VirtualBox for locally-hosting VMs to do my development work on. Opted to try out Hyper-V since it's also free (and hopefully requires less-frequent reboots for hypervisor-driver updates). Initially, I set up my VMs to use an external vSwitch. However, external vSwitches require putting my wifi interface into bridge-mode. When in bridge mode, network performance goes in the trash - for both my VMs and my host: using various speed-testing tools, my connection-performance drops from 500Mbps-bidirectional to about 4Mbps down/200Kbps up. As a workaround, I switched to using private vSwitches and using connection sharing. This restored my host's connection-performance to their initial levels and sped my VMs' networking up to nearly the same speed, as well. Unfortunately, the cost seems to be that my VMs' IP addresses change regularly. Worse, if I go into the VMs and change to static IP addressing, the private vSwitch's gateway refuses to route. So, the question is, "how do I provide persistent address-binding to my Hyper-V VMs without trashing my networking-performance"? I've seen various posts about using external interfaces and changing driver-settings to disable the broken "optimization" settings associated with bridge-mode, but, those settings don't seem to be available when the base NIC is WiFi.How to create an Ubuntu VM on Windows 10 using Quick Create
Windows 10 is not just a modern desktop operating system, and it also has some great IT Pro and Developer related features build in. One of them is client Hyper-V. This is the same hypervisor which powers virtualization in Windows Server and the Microsoft Azure datacenters. With Hyper-V, you can create virtual machines running on Windows 10, without the need for third-party software. You can not just run Windows virtual machines, and you can also run Linux virtual machines. In this blog post, I am going to show you how you can create an Ubuntu VM on Windows 10 using Hyper-V. Check out the full blog here: https://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2019/06/how-to-create-an-ubuntu-vm-on-windows-10/10 hidden Hyper-V features you should know about!
Microsoft added some amazing new features and improvements to Hyper-V over the past few years. A lot of them you can use in Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V today, but there are also a lot of features hidden in the user interface and they are also included in Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise. I think this list should you a good idea about some of them. https://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2017/09/10-hidden-hyper-v-features-you-should-know-about/
