Copying files from RHEL8 VM to Windows Hyper-V host works, but host to VM does not

[kenneth-ellis]

After running the script on a newly installed RHEL 8.6 VM under Hyper-V on Windows 10/11 and using PowerShell to enable ESM on the VM, Hyper-V Enhanced Session mode is active and working as expected for:

• Resolution selection & scaling
• Drive mapping of C: from host
• Copy/paste of text either direction between host & VM
• Copy-VMFile powershell command from host to VM works
• Right-click copy of a file from VM and right-click paste that file into host

However when I try to right-click copy a file from the Windows host and right-click paste the file into the RHEL8.6 VM, "paste" is greyed out in the context menu and it will not work.

I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing the same issue or able to reproduce it. Thanks!

I had Hyper-V Enhanced Session Mode with copy/paste of files either direction working on RHEL7.9, haven't been able to make this one specific part work on RHEL8 so far.

I just tested a clean install of CentOS 8 Stream fully updated & ran script + instructions to enable Hyper-V Enhanced Session Mode there.... got the exact same results. All ESM features work normally except Copy a file from the Windows host and attempting to Paste into a folder in the CentOS8 VM, the "paste" option is greyed out just like on RHEL8.
