Hi,
For hyperv you get the best experience if you have Enhanced session enabled
on the hyperv host, and in the guacamole config for the connection you add
;EnhancedMode=1 right after the preconnection PDU.
Setting in guacamole a screen resolution will be carried over successfully
to your target in enhanced mode.

Please note that Enhanced mode is console over RDP, so the guest will “see”
you as a remote user.

Hope this helps.
