latest 24H2 update (Non insider build) -- HYPER-V performance seems hugely improved

Hi folks
If sound isn't needed on your VM then the current version of HYPER-V seems far faster than previous builds -- I'm running this Linux distro with KDE desktop interface -- has zero problems even sending 4K UHD video to remote firesticks running Kodi plugged in to remote TV's (X3).

I don't need sound on that box.

My biggest 2 gripes are 1) No dynamic re-direction of USB and pcie devices (you have to establish virtual hardware before powering on the VM) and 2) lack of passthru of hardware.



Cheers

How does one figure out what version the Hyper-V is?

In Hyper-V Manager Help > About Hyper-V Manager. This is what my 23H2 says.....

I rather doubt Hyper-V is faster on 24H2 than 23H2 per se.

What is more likely is 24H2 is running more efficiently.

I noticed the upgrade reduced my windows folders and winsxs folders significantly even though I cleaned out the component store.

Have you done any benchmarking to validate this.
Do Linux guests have benchmarking tools like Passmark.

Thanks @Bree! Beta Insiders 23H2 22635.4367 is:

Probably does - in fact I'm sure it does - but my view on this is that if you need Benchmarking to check whether something is more efficient then for a domestic user it's pointless since you wouldn't detect the difference in normal use. For cloud operators etc with zillions of clients then it's important.

24H2 might well run more efficiently than 23H2 so that could be a reason -- I suspect also better Disk I/O subsystem handling also helps -- in over 25 years of using any sort of PC optimising Disk I/O has always been the "cinderalla" of efficient computer usage - but poor a poor Disk I/O subsystem can kill even the fastest system.

Anyway some here :
