When Hyper-V just shows "Connecting" in the wide window

Today I noticed an interesting thing: a Hyper-V Virtual Machine Connection window was in the enhanced session size but just displayed "Connecting" on the black background for a very long time.

Evidently, that can happen when the virtual machine has Integration Services installed but is installing updates. When I unchecked Enhanced session on the View menu, I got the small window showing the update progress. I guess the enhanced session viewer component in the VM isn't ready while updates are being installed, despite the VMC window thinking it is.
