Running a Gen1 VM.
It boots and I go through the steps to launch the Live CD, I bypass media checking then I get a line that says:
Unable to fix SELinux security context of /run/rootfs base: Permission denied
Then I get a full black screen. Looks to me like a video incompatability issue. I've looked through the HyperV settings and can't see and video options I could change for the VM.

My workflow got too heavy, and I didn't have just one solution for note taking, so I ended up in a whirlwhind of chaos. I dropped back to purely pencil and paper for now, but I'm also looking to jump back into digital once I get my method down.
I plan on going with either Freedcamp or Asana for tasks, and I'm not sure yet for notes. OneNote is frowned on a bit here due to FIPS compliance, and I'm sure Evernote would be the same. Makes me think that even Freedcamp and Asana would fall into that category as well, which is part of the reason I'm taking my time finding a solution.
I'm no expert but ... Asana from when I played with it is for team and task sharing, it is good though, I enjoyed it. I looked at alot of Kanban tools as well about 18 months back, one of them stood out more than others, but like alot of things it comes down to what you can work with.
I find Keep is very helpful as it searches through the text of the note. So if I add a note or a bookmark and I can only remember 1 word in that note or bookmark I can search for that instead of trying to remember what tag I may have used.
Keep actually has a limit on tags, it's not much, may be only 100 or 150 or something, I ran out of tags quickly.
I think the trick with Keep may be don't try to find anything in it, use Search.
I thought i'd run up a Fedora VM on my W10 laptop so I can pick up some more knowledge, but it won't install. I turn the VM on and all I get is a black screen with illegible characters jammed way up in row 1 of the display.
Anyone know if Fedora will install in Hyper-V?
I use it as a bookmark thing mostly to help me find sites with info I use more than once. I use the Keep app on my Android phone and it works OK for me.
Wondering who the imbecile was that convinced the world to stop placing LEDs in Num Lock and Caps Lock keys was.
It's a toss up between intermittant mouse pointer movement & not knowing if your number / caps lock is on as to which is the most annoying thing.
That person "will be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes".
I've tried Onenote & Evernote, but I reckon Keep is pretty darn good as a note taker & keeper. It's simple & quick. I throw anything in there and just do text searches to find what I'm looking for, works well.
I find the other two better for stuff like record keeping & info hoarding.
Evernote searching became useless going back about 2-3 years ago when I used it. I moved back to Onenote.

@momurda https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-windows-10-fast-startup in the section about why you wold want to disable fast startup, it describes the exact symptoms you are seeing.
Thanks @wrx7m ever since my PC got 1803 it immediately goes into advanced diags upon boot up and I have to shut it down, then reboot it to start it up. Fast startup has killed it in the past so I hope this will fix the latest MS stuff up.

45 mins on treadmill, day off, lining up coffee #2, listening to dm stith.
Don't you like running outside?
Hi @Joy I don't have the knees for running or the lungs haha.
are you crawling on the treadmill?
I thought you supposed to be running in treadmillWalking is another possibility... people have been known to walk on them too
I don't like walking on treadmill nor running.
It's like walking many hours but still stuck in one place.
Nah, you're doing it wrong. I've setup an old PC infront of the treadmill. I watch all this stuff on Youtube. I watch for entertainment, but you could spend the time doing an online course or watching the news etc etc.

Did you install THIS inside of your Windows VM?
I changed my 'Display' setting from Spice to VNC, that gave me 2 mouse cursors. Then I added a Tablet, that got rid of the extra cursor and everything now seems to work OK.
No, I wouldn't have been able to install anything into the VM before the changes mentioned above as the mouse was unusable.
I'll do it now and see what happens.
I also built a VM using Boxes. That was going OK, but now I've lost video all together.
I don't like or ever use boxes.
How come?

@eddiejennings 10:36pm and Ga Power is still flailing around, not fixing anything.
they're probably on double time and getting paid by the hour. why would you expect them to be doing anything?
I'm running up some test VMs in Virtual Machine Manager.
My biggest issue is keyboard and mouse interaction and swapping between the VM and host.
Once the mouse gets locked to the VM it becomes useless in both the host and VM, jittery and uncontrollable. When I switch it back to the host it becomes invisible or lost behind the VMM window.
The VM is a 2016 server.
I've used other virtualisation products that require additional tools so you can easily switch between VM and host and share drives etc. Are there tools for VMM I need to install?

Same command as on Windows...
nslookup sitenameThat'll tell us what it is "doing."
If I go "nslookup hostname" I get told that there is no entry for 'hostname' in DNS which looks correct.

Are you maybe not using DHCP?
No I'm using DHCP.
