You won't want to do that without Windows 10, enabling Hyper-V before Windows 10 resulted in you loosing connected standby, but with Windows 10 it works great.

Hyper-V "replaces" your NIC with a bridge adapter, sorta like how you use br0 that bridges to eth0 on Linux, so that could be the cause of that (ie, Hyper-Vs bridge doesn't know how to speak the connected standby API and pass it through to the real NIC).

Connected Standby only works for a couple of Windows Store / Metro Apps though. I don't think that's a big loss...

It also means that your startup resume is slower and such, as you have to do a full sleep instead. Personally I've used the alarm and stuff too.
