Thanks for confirming Joseph. This is the first time I tested with Generation 2 VMs so not sure if it was caused by a recent update.
I have not tested with upstream kernel because this is happening while the installer is running. I could try out the upstream kernel if I could get past the installation stage. Do you think the keyboard driver is active when the installer is running? Please take a look at the attached pictures to get more context and let me know how I may help further.

It appears that the keyboard is operational during the Grub 2 menu (see attached picture) but when we get to the screen to select a language, the keyboard stops responding. Is it feasible for you to check if the Hyper-V keyboard driver has been included from here: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux- next.git/tree/drivers/input/serio/hyperv-keyboard.c?id=HEAD Please let me know.
