    Hello Ho Yeung, Lee, I am Henry and I'd like to help.

    It seems like you're encountering a common issue with Hyper-V Generation 2 VMs when trying to boot from an ISO. Here are some troubleshooting steps that might help resolve the problem:

    1. Check Boot Order: Ensure that the virtual DVD drive is set as the first boot device in the VM's firmware settings. You can adjust this in the VM settings under "Firmware."
    2. Secure Boot: Try disabling Secure Boot in the VM settings. While Secure Boot is generally compatible with Microsoft's ISOs, it can sometimes cause issues, especially with custom configurations.
    3. ISO File Location: Make sure the ISO file is stored on a local drive rather than a network location. Hyper-V can have trouble booting from ISOs located on network drives.
    4. Verify ISO Integrity: Double-check that the ISO file is not corrupted. You can verify its checksum against the official checksum provided by Microsoft.

    Please check and let me know how it goes if you want to discuss more
