I don't know when this started, it used to work properly, but for my XP VM in Windows 11 Pro 24H2 Hyper-V the pointer goes up when I move the mouse down (touchpad actually), and vice versa. Horizontal movements are correct. This problem has been seen before, this is one of many (unresolved) examples I've found.
It's the integration services that are at fault. There's nothing you can do in the host or the guest to fix this, unistalling and reinstalling drivers (host or guest) has no effect. There used to be a fix though in older versions of Hyper-V, you could install integration services in the guest from a virtual DVD.
The ISO used to be available to download from Microsoft, but that too has now been removed from Microsoft's servers.
However, I found it it the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Insert it in the VM's DVD and installing it not only fixed my mouse issues, it also gave my XP a proper Microsoft Hyper-V Video driver, and no longer does the mouse get captured inside the VM's window and have to be released with Ctrl+Alt+left-arrow. Did the same magic for my Windows 7 VM too.
