I have a hyper-v managed windows 10 VM. When I start it, it connects the display to "Virtual Machine Connection" which, as far as I can see, allows no control over the display resolution.
The advice I'm reading is to use "Remote Desktop Connection" instead.
But when I attempt to attach with that I get "Your computer could not connect to another console session on the remote computer because you already have a console session in progress".
Is there some way of telling hyper-v to start RDC instead of VMC? Or can I adjust the display setting somewhere in VMC I haven't yet found?

What version of Hyper-V/Host OS? If you want more control over your VM, use the Enhanced Sesssion option on the VMC, under View. Also, you will need to configure the VM for RDP, it is disabled by default. – essjae – 2019-06-05T19:30:29.220
Hi @essjae. H-V Manager is at 10.0.17763.1, the host is W10 at 10.0.17763.503. I've got Enhanced Session enabled already, but that doesn't seem to have any options regarding resolution.
Where do I enable RDP in Hyper-V Manager, please? – Ian – 2019-06-05T20:02:57.420
You'd enable RDP in the Windows 10 VM. Either through Settings->System->Remote Desktop, or Control Panel->System->Remote Settings. However, if enhances session is on, you can just drag the corner of the window and change the resolution. If Enhanced Session is working correctly, you should get a prompt for initial screen size. – essjae – 2019-06-05T21:57:41.867
