This is the second preview version and of NanaBox. This is the first version which is submitted to the Microsoft Store.

Note: NanaBox maybe the first open-source third-party Hyper-V client based on Host Compute System API.

Known issues

  • The localization for the NanaBox UI is not implemented in NanaBox 1.0 Preview 1.
  • The virtual machine creation UI and settings UI is not implemented in NanaBox 1.0 Preview 1.
  • The automatic switch between Enhanced Session Mode and Basic Session Mode is not implemented because HcsEventSystemRdpEnhancedModeStateChanged event can be fired on at least Windows 10 Build 17763, but in Windows 11 Build 22621 cannot. It's confirmed as a HCS API bug via a friendly Microsoft employee and will fix it in the future.
  • TPM support is not available because current stage of HCS API seems doesn't implement them.
  • NanaBox needs elevated privilege via UAC because HCN API in Windows 11 Build 22621 will return ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED even add the current user to the Hyper-V Administrators user group. Windows 10 don't have that issue.
  • Due to HCS API limitation, the guest only supports UEFI Class 3 or UEFI without CSM or Hyper-V Gen 2 VM.
