Update on #9: I confirm after upgrading to Windows 1803, Set-VM does have the -EnhancedSessionTransportType parameter.
Copy & Paste and Shared Folders/Drives work. Performance seems OK too.
It wasn't clear to me about disabling the printers and setting up the shared folders/drives so maybe this clarification helps.
When starting the Connection , the Default Tab is "Display" where the desktop resolution can be specified.

Whilst I don't want to add to a debate on this thread about comparing hypervisors performance and features I will pass on my observation encourage checking out the configuration above in this thread with Windows Pro 1803, Hyper-V and Ubuntu 18.04.
Having used Ubuntu 16.04 on Windows using VirtualBox and VMware, when comparing the performance and integration features (clipboard and shared folders) with Hyper-V prior to Windows 1803, yes Hyper-V was disappointing. Now, having made the upgrade to 1803 and followed the instructions in this thread then personally I don't see a big difference.
If anyone is considering the Ubuntu 18.04 on Hyper-V then so long as you have Windows 1803 or above then I'd say it's well worth considering now.
I'd assume so - the Hyper-V drivers have been in Linux Kernel for 10 years or so. I think since Windows 8 was released although perhaps earlier. I've been running Arch as a VM since then (I run my torrent client in it).
I never tried in that time to do audio so whether it works idk. Presumably not judging by this thread.
What I'd like to do (which I tried and failed to do) is native boot (any) Linux in a VHD. That would be wonderful if it was possible.
It is sort of halfway but you can boot linux in a vhd using grub but I would love to do it with standard windows bcdboot commands. I cannot believe tht some bright spark has not sussed a way for linux to fool the windows boot loader into thinking it is loading Windows.
I'm not sure if I understood correctly, but is step 4 in this article what you mean Martin?
