Record Hyper-V Console

Every few months thanks to Windows 10 its time to roll out a new image. This is a simple yet tedious task.  Thanks to modern day multi-tasking its easy to miss something in testing of new images. Then I have to restart the whole process wasting time.

This script will record the screen by taking screenshots every second. I suppose you could use a 3rd party tool to merge them together into a video if you really needed to.

The script includes de-duplication of images so if the screen stops moving so does the recording. That plus using JPEG format makes the images fairly small.

Oh yes, dont forget to “Run as Admin”

Enjoy!

Big thanks to Ben Armstrong for the original work on this script:
