Hyper-V host physical disk not available to VM in Server 2022 and Win 11 arm64

Hi.

I have a problem with Hyper-V in Windows Server 2022 x64 and Windows 11 arm64. In these specific cases, it seems to be impossible to attach host physical disks directly to a VM. No other Windows versions or architecture combinations seem to have this issue.

In other cases, it is possible to simply offline the disk in Disk Management and then it is available to select in the physical hard disk dropdown box in VM settings. But not in Windows Server 2022 x64 or Windows 11 arm64. The dropdown box is always grayed out even if there are offline disks.

Am I missing something else here or is this a bug of some sort?

    Sounds good, it should have worked as long as the disk is confirmed offline as far as the host is concerned.
