+`windows_container_start_time_seconds` is the start time reported by HCS. HostProcess and Hyper-V isolated containers have no start time in HCS on the host, they report their creation time from the CRI endpoint instead.
 
 `windows_container_memory_page_faults_total` is only available for HostProcess containers, because HCS doesn't report page faults. The job object counts page faults in 32 bits, so the counter wraps around after 2^32 page faults.
 
+`windows_container_storage_writable_layer_usage_bytes` is read from the CRI endpoint and only exported for Kubernetes containers.
+containerd measures it periodically, so it may lag behind and is missing until the first measurement.
+
+`windows_container_count` only counts HCS containers. HostProcess and Hyper-V isolated containers aren't counted.
+
+### Hyper-V isolated containers
+
+Kubernetes containers with Hyper-V isolation run inside a utility VM. HCS on the host only sees the utility VM, not the containers inside it.
+The collector reads their metrics from the container stats of the CRI endpoint instead, if the `hcs` collector is enabled.
+containerd fills them from the HCS statistics that the shim queries inside the utility VM, but the CRI API only carries a subset of them:
+
+| Name                                                       | Source                                 |
+|------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------|

+
+The user and kernel mode CPU time, the commit peak, page faults, the process count, storage I/O and network metrics aren't available for Hyper-V isolated containers.
+The collector identifies them as running Kubernetes containers that are neither HCS containers nor HostProcess containers.
