That's normal and expected behavior for a console session. Try using an RDP session instead.

In Hyper program, it does not show IP!

Rick Weber 0 Reputation points2023-10-11T16:09:29.86+00:00 That is not normal expected behavior, unless that's a change they decided to make. This has always worked. In fact, I just tested it on an older system I have, and I can seamlessly copies and pastes between host and guest.

,
Thank you for your question and reaching out.
Well
Check This
Here is a quick and easy way to get this work efficiently:If you're running the VM, turn it off first.
find your virtual hard disk image file .vhd of your VM
Right click on this file and select mount
This will give "System Reserved" and "Local Disk" drives.
Open the "Local Disk" drive (this is the OS drive on VM)
Go there and paste you files.
Finally unmount or eject one of the drivers
Run the VM and go the c:\ drive there and you will find your files.It can be done via Powershell.
First, create a session with New-PSSession from the HOST:
$s = New-PSSession -VMName <VMName> -Credential (Get-Credential)
Then, from the HOST, copy the file via Copy-Item using the session:Copy-Item -ToSession $s -Path C:\host_path\data.txt -Destination C:\guest_path\
Also
This is possible in Hyper-V Post windows server 2012 R2.This functionality is known as "Enhanced Session Mode" in windows server 2012 R2.
Once you enable Enhance session mode in the Hyper-V setting for the Server you need to just start the VM and select "Connect" once prompted.
Now you will be able to copy paste files and folders without having RDP of the server
And see if it helps,

2022-04-13T23:43:12.05+00:00 Thank you for taking the time to write this explanation
In fact, I went your way and several ways, but every time I came across an error or it wanted something I did not know what or where to get it.
In fact, I can't even copy and paste text from Windows into Ubuntu (installed in vm) and vice versa, neither in hyper-v nor in vmware
Maybe the problem is due to my anti-virus or maybe I changed the settings, because some of my friends can copy and paste the text between Windows and vm without any problems, but I can't
Maybe I should install Ubuntu instead of my virtual machine

Michael Barnes 0 Reputation points2024-05-10T00:26:16.0633333+00:00 In my experience, I find it takes 1-2 minutes before copy&paste starts working between my host OS and the VM. The VM does not appear to be "busy" in that period; it is just sitting mostly idle with little CPU usage, so I don't know why it takes so long to "enable" the copy-paste functionality.
