Connect to VM on Hyper-V server

I can't connect to a VM running on top of hyper-V server 2019. 
It just spins at connecting. 

Downloading the RDP file and connect that way works fine so it seems to be an admincenter issue. 

Admincenter: 1910, 
OS: Hyper-V server 2019

    First of all check communication ports; 

    5985 HTTP and 5986 HTTPS for WinRM
    2179 for VM console access (Hyper-V socket)
    3389 if using RDP fallback

    Also check gateway has valid certificates (self-signed certificates can sometimes cause connection hangs).

    Check WAC Extension version

    Go to Extensions in Admin Center - check the Hyper-V extension.
    If outdated, update it. Some older builds had bugs where console connections hung indefinitely.
