When going through the converter the option to run repair mode is always greyed out and sometimes does not appear.

When following the below steps, the option does appear but is greyed out.

Remote VMware ESXi Server>Server parameters>Expand Windows VM>select VMDK (tried one with OS and without)>Microsoft Hyper-V Server>Hyper-V parameters>VMDX growable (tried all)

Going through that, it is still grey.

Following these steps, it never shows up and after clicking next it starts the VM creation.
Remote VMware ESXi Server>Server parameters>Select VM>Microsoft Hyper-V Server>Hyper-V parameters>Settings of new VM

The current implementation of repair mode had a set of limitations and we disabled it until the limitations will be removed. Sorry for frustration with the disabled option, we will return it back in upcoming updates!

Would it be possible to post when these updates come out and what has changed? I noticed that there is an update post but it is from 2014.
