Deploy to HyperV Client can't PXE boot

I'm trying to setup HyperV on my WIndows 10 PC so I can create VM's for Task Sequence testing with OSD. I have OSD and PXE working and can connect.

I am testing from my PC and I'm using a TFTP command to verify I can get to the PXE server.

tftp -i 10.0.124.12 GET \smsboot\x86\wdsnbp.com

This works from my PC but not from the VMs on my PC. I have separate static MAC addresses assigned to a new Version 1 template. I can get an IP address but then I get a PXE error. PXE-E32 TFTP Open Timeout

Is this SCCM not liking my VM's? Am I missing something about HyperV?

    Hi. Did you check the wds\pxe side logs? Is the pxe client in the same subnet as pxe server or different? Do you have dhscp scopes or IP helpers configured for pxe support across subnets?

    I thought that since TFP was working that would be evidence of IPHelper. Or at least I'd think I'd get the same results as my PC.

    Turn out it was the use of Antivirus software. The message wasn't helpful since the AV software was on the HyperV server.
