VM Hyper V does not go full screen with Windows 11 home as guest

Question

I have Hyper V installed on my Windows 11 pro pc. When I create a Windows 11 home machine in Hyper V I can set the guest(Windows 11 home) to full screen. With a Windows 11 pro machine as guest it works fine.
I do not get the screen with the slider on a Windows 11 home machine.

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Based on the information you provided, first make sure that enhanced session mode is enabled. If the problem still cannot be solved when enhanced session mode is enabled, I suggest that you open PowerShell as an administrator on the host and run the following command to change the resolution of the guest:

Set-VMVideo -VMName "Name of VM in Manager" -HorizontalResolution 1920 -VerticalResolution 1080 -ResolutionType Single

Note: You can change the resolution as needed.

I hope the information above is helpful.

Best regards
