Good job!!! But not all Debian distributions can do it without these lines and commands.
Add these lines to this file:
sudo nano /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
hv_vmbus
hv_storvsc
hv_blkvsc
hv_netvsc

In terminal enter:
sudo apt-get install hyperv-daemons
sudo update-initramfs -u
Make a reboot:
reboot

This no longer seems to work on Windows 10 using Client Hyper-V and Debian 12 guest.

For Debian 12, I had to change video=hyperv_fb:... to video=Virtual-1:...

Thanks, I will give that a go and report back.

For Debian 12, I had to change video=hyperv_fb:... to video=Virtual-1:...

and then select the desired resolution in the display settings.

Worked like a charm, thanks!
