You installed from USB and NOT ISO?

WS2019_MUI_x64_Standard Image file

I figured it out. &nbsp;I had to deselect the image file from the SCSI controller. &nbsp;After doing that and resetting it now boots into in VHD. I find it strange that rearranging the boot order with the VHD first in the boot order didn't take precedence.

Can't boot from virtual hard drive in Hyper-V

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
