HyperV - Icons pixelated inside VM

HyperV - Icons pixelated inside VM

I want to use the Hyper-V VM demo environment , but one thing holding me back is the resolution. Fonts are pixelated, like on an old-style thin client. This was the same for this VM when it ran on VMWare.

 First in Hyper-V Manager, had to check and uncheck Enhanced Session Mode. That did away with Windows thinking that it was a remote session and not allowing customizing the display. 

Then start VM>right-click>Display Settings>Advanced Display Settings>Clear Type Text>Turn on ClearType. Worked through the wizard…worked!
