Below worked for me. Tested on Ubuntu 20.04 | Host Windows 11.

Open grub file.

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Change value of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT with below. Replace 3840x2160 with your highest resolution.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=hyperv_fb:3840x2160"

Run below commands

sudo update-grub

sudo apt install linux-image-extra-virtual

Shutdown the VM and open PowerShell as administrator on host machine and run below. Replace "ubuntu" with your vm name. Change "3840" and "2160" with your highest resolution.

set-vmvideo -vmname ubuntu -horizontalresolution:3840  -verticalresolution:2160 -resolutiontype single

This command may not be required. It is something I read on Kali blog.
