I do not use Hyper-V.

However you should know that `ubuntu-desktop` installs GNOME. GNOME
needs OpenGL. If if doesn't have the drivers, it emulates it in
software. That may not work.

I mainly use VirtualBox and for that, I install `dkms` and then the
`virtualbox-guest-x11` package. This brings in the FOSS VBox display
driver. Then if you tick "enable 3D acceleration" under display
settings, GNOME on X.org can use VBox's 3D drivers and the desktop
becomes smoother.

You might want the Hyper-V equivalent, if there is one.

... Doesn't mention graphics drivers at all, though.
