Fix – Hyper V Showing Blank | Blurred login screen in Windows 11 | Windows 10

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.
