Hi again. I just checked the command you mentioned. When executing

$ systemctl status {hypervfcopyd,hypervkvpd,hypervvssd}.service

I got the following output

Unit hypervfcopyd.service could not be found.
Unit hypervkvpd.service could not be found.
Unit hypervvssd.service could not be found.

I then did the following

sudo dnf update

and

sudo dnf upgrade

followed by

sudo dnf install hyperv-daemons

After a reboot I now get the following output from

systemctl status hypervkvpd.service

Now, when I use the following Copy-VMFile commandlet in PowerShell

Copy-VMFile -Name rocky1 -SourcePath .\Copytest.txt -DestinationPath '/home/markus' -FileSource HOST

that works as expected now and the file is copied to my home drive inside the rocky1 vm.

Unfortunately, copying and pasting into the Hyper-V console on Windows still doesn’t work. Not with Ctrl-V and also not with the menu option. This is no longer a pain for me, because i can copy a file via Copy-VMFile and PowerShell now, that the services work. Just wanted to give feedback about this. Hope this helps somebody.
