  • Open a Terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T)

  • Run

      sudo vi /etc/default/grub

  • Find the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, and add

      video=hyperv_fb:[the resolution you want]

If the resolution I want is 1280×720 then my line ends up looking like this:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="… quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:1280×720"

  • Write the changes and quit vi by hitting ESC and typing

      :wq

  • Run:

      sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

    or when installed in EFI mode

      sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg

  • Reboot the virtual machine
