title: Hyper-V cannot connect to local server (Windows 10 host)
body: <p>I am trying to install Hyper-V to create virtual machines to emulate Windows Mobile devices.</p>
  
  <p>I am running Windows 10 Professional, and when I run <code>systemimage.exe</code> I see that I should be able to enable Hyper-V features:</p>

  <p>So, I then enabled Hyper-V from "Programs &amp; Features" and rebooted:</p>

  <p>No errors, everything looks fine. But when I run Hyper-V Manager, nothing connects by default, and if I use "Connect to server..." to connect to "Local computer", I get the following error screen:</p>

  <p>All of the Hyper-V services are NOT running, and when I try to start any of them, I get the following:</p>

  <p>( I have set the services to both Manual and Automatic, and it makes no difference.)</p>
  
  <p>So, I am stumped. No errors on install and my workstation should be able to run it fine, but nothing works, cannot even connect to the local host in the Manager.</p>
