I tried to use 'Enhanced Session' via Remote Desktop, but it is still not successful. Even though I configured to enable 'Remote Desktop' on the guest operating system, but it is still not successful. I also enabled Enhanced Session Modes below.

Host: Win11 Pro Hyper-V

Guest: Win11 Pro

***moved from Windows / Windows 11 / Settings***

    Xu Gu's answer was of no use to me but I found this article which worked for me.

    All I had to do was turn off "Windows Hello".

    hard to believe that MS has not fixed this obvious issue in 2024. Makes me feel Hyper-V is yet another dead horse at MS.

    Hi Admin,

    Hope you're doing well.

    1. Ensure that your Windows 11 Pro virtual machine is running a supported guest operating system. Enhanced Session Mode typically works best with Windows-based guest operating systems.
    2. Update the "Integration Services" to the latest.
    3. Try to restart the Hyper-V Host.
    4. Check the "Group Policy" and "Registry Editor" whether enable the "Enhanced Session Mode".
    5. In addition, you can try to reinstall the "Integration Services".

    Best Regards
