Enthusiast
Home lab on a Windows 11 workstation
Runs Plex, Home Assistant and a pfSense test VM on one PC. Watches memory pressure live and gets a Telegram alert when the firewall VM crashes at 2 a.m.

VM Control Center
Live Hyper-V inventory with push-based state, real guest metrics and contextual power actions.
The problem
Hyper-V Manager is a 2008-era MMC snap-in: blocking dialogs, no live CPU or memory, cryptic HRESULT errors, and no idea what a long operation is doing. Windows Admin Center fixes some of that but needs a gateway and a browser.
Features
- Push-based state through WMI event subscriptions, not polling
- Real guest memory and CPU, with honest 'not reported' states
- Only the actions that apply to the selected VM, with job progress for each
- Right-click everything, open folder, copy path, connect
- Telegram alert when a VM stops outside the app
Who it is for
IT generalist
Line-of-business server at an accounting firm
Keeps a legacy Sage VM and a domain controller on one host. Uses uptime and the contextual power buttons to schedule the monthly patch restart without touching the wrong VM.
Software engineer
Developer test matrix
Starts and stops Windows 10, 11 and Server 2025 test VMs dozens of times a day from the keyboard instead of the MMC snap-in.
Benefits
- See the real state of every VM the moment it changes, without pressing refresh
- Fewer mistakes: only the actions that apply to a VM are offered
- Know within seconds when a VM stops, even away from the desk
Built to be trusted
- Every state change is a tracked job with timeout and cancellation
- Connection loss is detected and reported, with automatic reconnect
- Demo provider mirrors the real one for every operation
Good to know
Shipped. The remaining gap to Windows Admin Center is remote hosts, which is planned for a later release.
Under the hood
