What it is

ExHyperV is a WPF-based graphical management tool for Microsoft Hyper-V that exposes advanced virtualization features (VM networking, storage, GPU passthrough, nested virtualization) through a modern sci-fi-themed UI built on WPF-UI. It abstracts complex WMI queries and HCS API calls into intuitive dialogs, letting non-expert users configure enterprise Hyper-V capabilities without PowerShell. Single monolithic WPF application: /src contains App.xaml (entry point), Assets/ (distro logos and icons for Linux guest detection), and likely ViewModels, Views, and Models directories for MVVM pattern. CI/CD via GitHub Actions in .github/workflows/ handles kernel asset builds and automated…

Start here

Open these first:

• src/App.xaml.cs — Entry point and main application initialization; essential for understanding app lifecycle and core setup.
• src/App.xaml — Root application XAML definition with resource dictionaries and global styling; defines UI framework structure.
• src/ExHyperV.csproj — Project configuration and dependency manifest; required to build and understand framework/library versions.
• src/Converters/OsTypeToImageConverter.cs — Core data binding converter for OS type resolution; demonstrates the converter pattern used throughout the UI layer.
• src/Config.xml — Application configuration and settings; governs runtime behavior for Hyper-V management features.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Justsenger/ExHyperV.git
cd ExHyperV

Open src/ in Visual Studio 2019+ and build the solution. Requires Windows with Hyper-V enabled and .NET Framework 4.7+ or .NET Core runtime.

Daily commands:

In Visual Studio: Build > Build Solution, then Debug > Start Debugging (F5). Requires admin privileges. No command-line entry point visible — GUI-only application.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 88% of recent commits
• GPL-3.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility
• Admin privilege requirement: Application will not launch or function without Run as Administrator on Windows. Hyper-V-specific: Feature toggles may silently fail if Hyper-V is not installed or enabled (`dism…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
