I’m on Windows 11 Pro (Client) version 23H2 host and have tried creating multiple different guest OS machines all with the same error, “Cannot Connect to the Virtual Machine.” However, when I power on the machine, I can see an image of it booted up in the Hyper-V Manager window. I just can’t connect to it. Both the host and the guest machine are running on the same pc. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? This is my first time using Hyper_V to manage virtual machines so it’s possible I’m overlooking something. Here is a screenshot of the error in Hyper-V Manager

I tried creating both internal and external switches in the Virtual Switch Manager. I made sure virtualization is enabled in the BIOS and that Windows is up to date. I’ve tried starting and stopping the service and restarting my pc.
