VM Connect Enhanced Session

Question

I have hyper-v on windows 2016 server.

Whenever I use the enhanced session when connecting to a VM using the "connect" option in hyper-v manager the ctr-alt-del option is greyed out and unusable. If I switch to a basic session it becomes available again.

What is the reason for this behaviour and how to fix it?

Answer 1

Hi,

It seems to be designed behavior, when I'm in enhanced session mode, the "ctr+alt+del" is also grep out, when in basic mode, the crt+alt+del is available:

Answer 2

So you are saying there is no way to fix this? But I don't get what is the point of this if it is indeed designed behaviour??

One doesn't only need to use ctrl-alt-del for login. Sometimes one needs to use it for other reasons and this would require switching to basic session. Lot of trouble for no reason at all.

Answer 3

Hi,

As far as I'm concerned, the crtl+alt+delete isn't available in enhanced session mode may due to the enhanced session mode is RDP connect.
