It’s been really handy to be able to run virtual machines on regular Windows 10 machines, thanks to Hyper-v. However, I had some difficulties at the beginning because a lack of polishing about this feature. Here are some tips that can help.
Error when trying to start a new VM after its creation
The first issue I got after I had created my first VM, was make it starts! It could seem silly, however, for some reasons, when you click on “start VM” from the Hyper-V manager, the connector is not launched with administrator rights, hence it won’t start the VM with a weird error message.
The easiest way to workaround this, is to find and create a shortcut leading directly to , which is located here:
C:\Windows\System32\vmconnect.exeNote that, virtmgmt.msc, is also located in that folder.
You will just have to run that exe with administration rights to get back on business!
