How to restore auto zoom level in Hyper-V VM window

Question

I used View -> Zoom Level -> 25% on my Hyper-V VM window to move it away into a corner, but now I can't restore it as the View menu is no longer displayed. How do I reset it to auto or 100%?

Answer 1

Hello Tomtzigt, I will be happy to help you solve this problem.

I leave you this very easy way to do it, I hope and it works. I will be here to help you

Ctrl + (increase) or Ctrl - (decrease) or Ctrl + 0 to reset the zoom.

You can also use Ctrl + mouse scroll to change the zoom level.

I hope I can help you, follow the steps. I will be waiting here

Answer 2

does not work yet because the VM captures the mouse and keyboard, so the control++ goes to the Fedora VM which promptly ignores it.

So how do I direct the CTRL + '+' to the window?

Answer 3

I got it but it is ugly and error prone:

I stop the VM, for some reason this expands the window again big enough that the View menu item is visible. Unfortunately, that does not have a Zoom Level.

So I restarted the VM, and the in the 3 seconds I had before the window resized away the View menu item I was able to quickly select View -> Zoom Level -> Auto.

Definitely, would like to know how to fix this properly: for now, not going to touch the Zoom Level again.
