Find VM worker process for 2012 R2 and above Hyper-V

Q. How can I find the VM worker process for a VM on 2012 R2 Hyper-V or above?

A. To check for the process ID for the worker process of a particular VM use the following PowerShell query:

PS C:\> (Get-WmiObject -q "SELECT * FROM Msvm_ComputerSystem WHERE ElementName = 'savdaldda01'" -n root\virtualization\v2).ProcessID
10368

PS C:\> get-process -Id 10368
