Hi tristian2

Welcome to the communities.

I will suggest please check the firewall & user permission if that now work then you may go with hyper -v  ?

Because now a days Microsoft planning to provide one stop solution for all like security, visualization, backup etc.

Similar setup. In IIS Console on a Windows Server 2012 system, choosing the Browse link to open a web application, causes the error you are having. I fixed the issue by changing from "Default Host Application" set for the HTTP/HTTPS protocols in Default Programs, to "Internet Explorer".  See the attached image.

I had a similar problem that was solved by changing the default handlers for HTTP and HTTPS as detailed in this post:

I hope this helps

The crux of the solution you posted was already posted by JoeGasper in his reply Re: make sure the virtual machine's configuration allows the guest to open host applications?, so you obviously didn't read the entire thread before posting a solution that was already posted 5 months ago!

Does anyone know a way to change the default handlers for HTTP/HTTPS protocols via GPO?

Did you try Google!?   The following blog while not specific to HTTP/HTTPS nonetheless may help get you in the right direction.  Have a look at: Windows 8: Associate a file Type or protocol with a specific app using GPO (e.g:default mail client for MailTo protocol)

Otherwise more information provided on your part may be more helpful then the brevity of your current query!

Thanks, this saved my lot of time... it works for me.
