Hyper V is a virtualization tool that comes preinstalled in the Windows operating system. It allows users to create a virtual machine on an x86-64 system running windows. Whether your device running Windows 10 or even Windows 11, you can use this tool to create the virtual machine.
Although it’s a convenient alternative to VirtualBox and VMWare, I recently faced an annoying issue that stop me from login in to Windows 11 installed on Hyper V.
What actually happening is, after installing Windows 11 on Hyper V when I boot up the machine, the login screen not showing a field to enter login details or you can say it shows a blank login screen featuring Windows 11 default blue desktop background.
After doing further investigation on the internet I figured out that there are other users reporting the same issue. Also, there are users who try to install Windows 10 on Hyper V reporting about blurred login screen.

So what, you need to do is turn off the enhanced session feature in Virtual Machine. For that,
You need to click on the View option available on the toolbar. In the menu, if the Enhanced session option is ticked, then you need to click on the same option to untick it.
Doing this will instantly restart the virtual machine and this time when you reach the login screen, make click to bring the login screen.
Now enter credentials and you’re good to go.
