Connecting to the serial console with Windows

Serial console isn't enabled by default on Windows®. You need to enable it by using the following script.

#ps1_sysnative
bcdedit /ems on
bcdedit /emssettings EMSPORT:2 EMSBAUDRATE:115200
Restart-Computer

The restart command works only if the windows cloudbase-init service allows for restarts. If not, then you need to manually restart.
