No login screen on Windows 11

[Gorilla]

Hi,
I have created a VM using Hyper-v of Windows 11 Pro, but after the build has completed I am unable to access anything. All I have access to us the language bar, accessibility and the power button on the right hand side. Wherever I click there is nothing. I have tried more than one build but keep getting the same. Any ideas please?
Thanks,

What happens if you send the CTRL+ALT+DELETE command or just press "enter" (which would normally slow the login screen)?

edit: I think you might need to press "Ctrl+Alt+End" to send the commend via a Hyper-V session, so it doesn't take action on the host system.

I had the same issue. You have to use a private account to install W11. Do this without internet connectivity during installation. Using a MS account during install blocks the ability to use Enhanced Session Mode.

Thanks, will give that a go Jonnied12

Ian, the CTRL, ALT, DEL is greyed out from Hyper-V manager

I should have said "local" account rather than private.

All sorted now, thanks for your help.

Set the session mode to basic (from enhanced) and ye shall be presented with a login prompt...
