Only health information is shown when connecting to a Windows VM| This will show up if the Special Administrative Console has not been enabled for your Windows image. See [Access Serial Console for Windows](#access-serial-console-for-windows) for instructions on how to manually enable SAC on your Windows VM. More details can be found at [Windows Health Signals](https://github.com/Microsoft/azserialconsole/blob/master/Known_Issues/Windows_Health_Info.md).

Unable to type at SAC prompt if kernel debugging is enabled | RDP to VM and run `bcdedit /debug {current} off` from an elevated command prompt. If you can't RDP you can instead attach the OS disk to another Azure VM and modify it while attached as a data disk using `bcdedit /store <drive letter of data disk>:\boot\bcd /debug <identifier> off`, then swap the disk back.

Pasting into PowerShell in SAC results in a third character if original content had a repeating character | A workaround is to remove the PSReadLine module. `Remove-Module PSReadLine` will remove the PSReadLine module from the current session.
