    I was finally able to get Enhanced mode to work in Win 10 Pro (haven't tried in Enterprise yet).
    A couple of changes from this guide:
    1. I've cloned this repo:
    GitHub - Microsoft/linux-vm-tools: Hyper-V Linux Guest VM Enhancements
    The install script doesn't need to be edited, all works as it is.
    2. I had to disable auto-login in Linux.

    The only non-working thing is lack of write permissions for shared folders. I can navigate there, but attempts to edit a file or even copy it within Windows folder fail. I can copy files from Windows folders to Ubuntu disk and work with them normally, but not in Windows folders.
    Have anyone figured out how to enable write permissions for Windows shares?

    I wanted to register to thank you for this post. I had the exact same problem and the same solution. Without your follow up, I would have been very frustrated.

    Thank you.

    I can write either way. This could because unrelatedly, the drives I used were network shares with permission set for everyone.

    This should be put to the first page. It's the 'official' way to do this right now.

    Even the auto login part is true, I had it enabled and it just kept giving me "Xorg" login screen over and over again. It needs to be disabled.

    One addition, the MS provided instructions are also helpful here: https://github.com/Microsoft/linux-v...iki/Onboarding

    Not sure what you mean. What is official way to do what?

    I note the MS method looks good - I am guessing the install.sh file has been updated since I wrote the guide, as it is sourced from a different place (mine was from original developer source which was for 16.04 and needed editing to run 18.04).

    I know no way to autologin in enhanced mode but the same applies to Windows vms anyway.

    Well I tried the simplified script in link and it failed to work, complaining about xrdp not working which was same message I got with my commands before editing the install.sh. So I am not going to modify original post as I know that works.

    Hi Cereberus, I didn’t find the two lines you recommended to comment out, in those current versions of install.sh.
    I looked at both the developer’s and the MS git?

    I have not checked MS install.sh. It is possible the developer version has also changed. I do not understand than why using MS version failed.

    I installed it to fresh Ubuntu 18.04, the MS script worked for me. Copy & paste etc started working.

    However the screen is not accelerated.

    E.g. opening the "Show applications" button (dotted icon at the bottom left) brings in the apps but it's really slugish. I think there isn't any GPU acceleration involved with this setup. In same MS repo they have stated they intend to add e.g. Ubuntu as a template for quick start, let's hope they do because setting everything up seems pain.
