I am new to using Hyper-V (host os Win11) and a VM of Win11. I tried out using the Session Settings to connect "local resources" drives from the host OS. But when RDP'ing into the VM from another terminal, the local resources drive from the host OS is no longer there.
Is there a way to make the local resources drive persist for the VM so that I can store files there, or should I create a windows shared folder?

ok so first to clarify hyperV != rdp
they have nothing in common and they dont know about each other
a shared folder can solve your problem but its not a good practice
use rdps shared resources to link a drive to rdp
you can store the rdp file somewhere and edit that line yourself if oyu want to do it yourself
open the rdp file with editor and add something like that
drivestoredirect:s:C:;
the default rdp which is used when no rdp file is mentioned in the Documents/Default.rdp , its a hidden file, in the vm you got then a linked drive
you can connect on your host computer a locla folder as net drive to additionally link it, for example in the picture, then in rdp you can add the Z: drive to get linked => more or less a "shared resource" , then in this case you got the Z: drive linked and you can access in the VM your documents folder

which zhen would change the rdp line to drivestoredirect:s:C:\;Z:\; .. but you can make it also with the gui and tick the Z: drive as shared resource
ping me if you got more questions
