For Windows 8.1, with HyperV Manager 6.3.9600.16384
From HyperV Manager:
- Select 'Hyper-V Settings' for the host
- Under 'Server', Select 'Enhanced Session Mode Policy'
- UnCheck 'Enhanced Session Mode'
You may have to stop/restart the VM/session before/after doing this.
Connect to the VM, and change the resolution as per normal.
Undo changes above to re-enable Enhanced Session Mode connection, if so desired.

If you do not want to go back to a 'basic session', try this:
- Close the session if you have it open. Just 'orange x' it out. No need to shut it down.
- When closed, some settings behaviors change. Right click on your VM and under 'Connect', there should now be 'Edit Session Settings'.
- This should now bring you back to the dialog that lets you select resolution and attach local devices to the VM.
- Once you have a new resolution selected, just re-connect.

To allow you change resolution, you need to set "Basic Session" from HyperV Virtual Machine connection (last button on top panel)
ANSWER 4

What worked for me was going to Hyper V settings, selecting on the left panel, under User, "Reset Check Boxes", and clicking on the Reset button. This cause all dialogs that are hidden to reappear, including the one that asks for the resolution when connecting.
