Connect to remote Hyper-V 2016 server via rdp, then connect to hyper-v machine, set it to full screen: no option to exit this full screen!

Hi,

I got an rdp session to a Windows 2016 server which has hyper-v.
When I connect to a Hyper-v vm and go in full screen, this works fine, but I cannot exit! Whatever I try ctrl + alt + home, ctrl + alt + break, it just gets me out of the rdp session not out of the hyper-v!

Please advise.

Please post a screenshot.
Hi! You may want to try using the "Restore Down" button on the pinned VM bar at the top of the screen. I know it's not a keyboard command as you were looking for, but it does work.

 

If that won't work for you there is a program you can get called KeyTweak that will let you remap the function keys to whatever you like. I haven't used it, but I know someone who does and he says it works. The only thing to note is during the install, choose Custom Installation and deselect the add-ons you don't really need. If you choose the Express Installation, you'll get some crapware.

 

You can get it from Tucows: http://www.tucows.com/preview/327616

There is no button on top of the screen.
This should be functioning out of the box, won't install extra software.

Based on what I understand, there is no combination of keys that will work for your situation.. So that's why I suggested that you should use  Tucows which would let you remap the function keys to whatever you like :)
