Homeassistant.local refused to connect

HI
New to Home Assistant, hence the support requested

Install the latest Home Assistant on a HyperV Virtual instance on windows
Installation when well and booted with no errors to the final screen
But I cannot access the service from another machine via http://homeassistant.local:8123 or the IP address of the Virtual Machine
my chrome browser gives me homeassistant.local refused to connect.
I re-installed a view times
The machine runs Windows 10 clean install
Any advice will be appreciated
Most articles refers to older installation, which I could not make work either
