I use hyper-v regularly and never even heard of windows admin center. Another example of Microsoft changing something that isn't broke just for the sake of change.

I'm glad I've been building a homelab and can move all my studying too that since it seems hyper-v is being shoved out the door by Microsoft.

Windows Admin Center was created because everyone wanted to manage Windows from a web browser. The current result is it works, but it's far from an optimal GUI solution for managing Windows machines.

Windows Admin Center was created because Microsoft thinks sysadmins want to manage Windows from a web browser. Instead, most of them would rather use desktop apps over RDP, which is why the deprecated Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is still widely used. WAC adoption is nowhere near what it should be in practice at this point.

I couldn't agree with you more; the native GUI tools are leaps and bounds better than their lumbering web counterparts.

WAC is one of those things that looks excellent on paper, but is borderline useless in practice.

What you missed with WAC is a hardtime setting it up, for a result that was mediocre.
