Warning to anyone using Windows 2012 Server R2 as your workstation - if you install Microsoft Emulator for Android, it enables Hyper-V which will cause your video drivers to no longer work since Hyper-V replaces your video card with a virtual one (or something like that).

I used Server 2012 with Hyper-V enabled on this very same machine, with no problem.

Something changed in R2 because as soon as I enable it and reboot, my video card is no longer recognized, the 2nd display doesn't work and when I go to re-install the video drivers (nVidia Quadro 600), it can't find the card.

I'm pretty sure that I called Microsoft or otherwise got definitive information from them that there was no fix for the problem, so that's when I decided to just use Virtual Box for my VM needs and that has been working out for me.


I found a similar issue here: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/3a0yra/nvidia_...

Did you try manually installing the Quadro drivers? It sounds like it's not so much a Hyper-V issue as a 2012 R2 issue.


Thanks. I'll try that out.
