Windows Hello PIN preventing use of Hyper-VM VM in enhanced mode
I have come across a strange bug with Hyper-V (will report to MS).
I created a Windows Pro VM set up with my MS account.
I was then unable to access the VM in enhanced mode using the normal vmconnect screens in Hyper-V. I just get dumped to the lockscreen and no keys respond.
So I went to basic mode, used gpedit.msc to bypass the lock screen. It made no difference.
I changed account to a local account and enhanced mode worked.
I changed back to MS account, and enhanced mode failed.
I then had one of those "light bulb" thoughts.
I had set a PIN (bloody installer gives no option to bypass this) when installing Windows 10 in a VM.
I turned off Windows Hello and then enhanced mode worked.
I reenabled Windows Hello (that was a pain), and then enhanced mode failed.
This is all repeatable
Windows Hello on - enhanced mode fails
Windows Hello off - enhanced mode fails
This is a bit annoying, as you cannot simply use netplwiz in Hyper-V so you can bypass entering password.
So I have to enter full password, or use local account. Using PIN was simply easier.
I have seen others on web complain enhanced mode was no longer working, so this is not just me, but I have no idea if all users are affected.
