Several times I came across a situation when files were copied much slower from/to virtual machines on a Hyper-V host running Windows Server 2019 than in a VM of the same configuration on a host running Windows Server 2016. In some tests, the read/write speed over the network to VM on Windows Server 2019 is almost three times lower than that on WS2016 (copying over SMB, SSH/SCP was tested). In this article, I tried to describe several different methods to improve the network performance of Hyper-V virtual machines running on Windows Server 2019 (and the latest Windows 10 and 11 builds).
