My PC just got upgraded to the latest Windows 10 Insiders build (slow ring, build 10565) and suddenly a couple of VMs were missing from the Hyper-V Manager. I first suspected the security settings on the directories were the problem, but my changes didn't fix anything. After browsing around the internet, I found a couple of fixes that might help you if you have the same problem.

Today the Microsoft Virtualization Team announced the availability of the new beta version of the Linux Integration Services for Hyper-V. In this post I will try the new features.

I was having trouble with the clock in my Linux Hyper-V VMs. The time was constantly drifting forward. Using NTP only slowed the drift a bit down but often NTP gave up after several days.

I’m running Linux in Hyper-V VMs since the launch of the Windows Server 2008 RTM. It was quite complex to get performance and support for the network drivers. Recently with the launch of Windows Server 2008 R2 there are also new Linux Integration Components which also work for 2008 RTM. Here is the list of steps to install CentOS with these components.
