Mac – “Mouse Not Captured In Remote Desktop Sesion” in Hyper-V

hyper-vvhdvirtual machine

I was used Disk2vhd to convert OS (Windows XP) into vhdx format and use Hyper-V Manager to run it as a virtual machine.

I had inserted integration services already and restart the VM, but "Mouse Not Captured In Remote Desktop Session" happened. The mouse cursor is there but cannot use the mouse, only can use keyboard.

I also tried manual insert integration services, but the result is "An error has occurred: One of the update processes returned error code 1603". I unchecked all the integration services (like data exchange, os shutdown) of the setting of the VM in Hyper-V Manager.

Any advice or suggestion? Many thanks for the help.

Try to reinstall the virtual PC tools. Once it is done, make your guest to use the changed hardware. Here it is described how to accomplish this without a mouse: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dau-blog/2012/02/28/mouse-not-captured-in-remote-desktop-session-when-virtual-pc-vhd-file-runs-in-hyper-v/

Hope it helps.

Linux – Updating the screen resolution in centos7 in Hyper-V

There is a known problem with VMs on Hyper-V unable to set the screen to a high resolution, with no way of changing it either from KDE System Settings or Hyper-V virtual machine properties.

The problem is with the frame buffer driver of Hyper-V. CentOS provides a tool called grubby for managing grub.cfg which is much easier to work with than editing /etc/default/grub and running update-grub.

To set the desired screen resolution under Hyper-V, open a terminal and execute:

sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="video=hyperv_fb:2560x1440"

then reboot. Replace 2560x1440 with the desired screen resolution.

If you find that you are still unable under Hyper-V to reach the desired resolution, the other solution is to install xrdp and use remote desktop. See the article Install xrdp on CentOS 7 / RHEL 7.
