    Multiple Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapters keep spawning in the Device Manager


    Hello,


    I have a Windows 10 Pro 2004 freshly installed and these adapters keep spawning in the Device Manager. I don't even know what they are for. I deleted them "Uninstall the device" function, but they re-appeared after a restart. I tried disabling the VMMS via the Hyper-V manager console, but it didn't stop them from appearing. I have also noticed that right after a restart and log-on my WiFi connection, while enabled, has no Internet access and I have to disconnect it and reconnect. Is there a link between two problems?


    I'll appreciate if you answer several questions.


    1. What are they?

    2. Why are they needed for?

    3. Is the behaviour a sign of some malicious activity?

    4. Can they mess-up my Internet connection somehow?

    5. How do I get rid of them completely and do I need to in the first place?


    Regards,

    Al

    :)

    I don't even have a VM running at the moment.

    Multiple Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapters keep spawning in the Device Manager

    Where is the Hyper V Manager, How to I start it ?

    I am trying to setup an XP virtual Machine on Windows 10 Pro.

    I followed the steps in Neil Peterson article of 5/9/2016.

    System Requirements - done - ok

    Install Hyper-V - done - ok

    Create a Virtual Switch - skip

    Create a Virtual Machine

    Create a Virtual Machine with Hyper-V Manager

    These steps walk through how to manually create a virtual machine and deploy an operating system to this virtual machine.


    • In Hyper-V Manager, click Action > New >
      Virtual Machine       to bring up the New

    Uhhhhhhhhh - this step obviously implies one knows

    1) Where the Hyper-V Manager is

    2) How to start the Hyper-V Manager

    Isn't that odd ?
