→An Overview of Hyper-V Integration Services
The Hyper-V Integration Services provide a number of performance and usability enhancing features for Hyper-V based guest operating systems. These services are as follows:
* '''Virtual Machine Connection Enhancements''' - When the console of a guest operating system without Hyper-V Integration Services installed is accessed using the Virtual Machine Connection, clicking in the Virtual Machine Connection locks the mouse pointer into that window. Focus may only be released by initiating a keyboard sequence (the default being Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow). With Integration Services installed, however, the pointer focus is automatically assigned to and released from the Virtual Machine Connection window as the mouse pointer passes in and out of the window. This avoids the necessity to click in the window to assign focus and then press the keyboard sequence to subsequently return the focus to the local desktop.
* '''Virtual drivers and Hypervisor-aware Kernel''' - Allows the guest operating system to communicate directly with the parent partition over the VMBus when accessing devices and making I/O requests thereby increasing performance of the guest operating system.
