Did you recently make the switch to Hyper-V 2016? Do your VM guests still running on an earlier Windows OS Version (2008R2, 2012, 2012 R2, 7, 8.1) or Linux and you cannot acquire the latest integration components through Windows Update? Fortunately, there is the offline method of acquiring the integration components binaries straight from Microsoft Download Center!
Have a look at the table below.
