Can't change resolution for KDE in Hyper-V VM

Installed latest version of Kubuntu (17.10.1) 64-bit from https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ into a VM under Hyper-V on Windows 10 Pro.
Resolution is stuck at 1152x864. Too small to read things properly on websites and screen real estate is very poor.
Natively I'm running 2 monitors both at 1920x1080.
I was looking at this similar issue: How do you change display resolution in KDE Plasma 5?
However when I simply type xrandr into console to display resolutions I get this:
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1152 x 864, current 1152 x 864, maximum 1152 x 864
default connected primary 1152x864+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1152x864 0.00*
And cannot use this command to change resolution because it says other resolutions are not found.
Any advice please? Please go easy on me I haven't used any form of Linux in years so I'm pretty rusty.

Thanks for response. Yes I had checked there prior to looking up this issue. The resolution is displayed on that screen but the drop down is grayed out and cannot be clicked.
