Hyper V network issue

So I'm trying to configure a new Hyper-V on my Windows 10 server. On the wizard, i get to 'Configure Networking' and I click the drop down on the connection to choose my network and it only has a 'Not Connected' option so I can't select a network (see image
below).

If I continue without selecting a network I get the error: Hyper-V encountered an error trying to access an object on the computer because the object was not found. (see second image below).

I've gotten the same error on my workstation and my laptop.

I have a network connection on both so I'm a bit lost. Any suggestions?

 

Hyper-V networking

Windows 10 Pro, Build 10586.71. Hyper-V installed. All was working well, and then I got a chipset update from Dell. Installed the update and rebooted computer. After that networking was not working correctly, windows showed limited connectivity. I looked
a little to roll back the driver update, but Windows did not show a new Nic card driver and the chipsets I looked at also did not show a current date. The Dell Command update program does not provide a way to uninstall updates.

I tried to access hyper-v switch manager but it returns an error that "an error occurred while trying to retrieve a list of virtual switches". Also tried using the powershell cmdlet but got a general error.

I accessed the networking center and deleted the Hyper V adapter, then edited my LAN card's config disabling the two Hyper V protocols and enabling the rest. This let me get back on-line with my computer. I have tried uninstalling the Hyper V feature,
reboot, reinstall - but I am still unable to access the switch manager. I then removed the feature again, re-named the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V directory, rebooted, added the feature again. This time (obviously) none of my VM's show up but
I'm still unable to access the switch manager.

There is no critical data in my Hyper V, I use it for testing, re-creating issues, learning, etc. Is there a way for Windows 10 (or something designed for server 2012 that will apply) that I can use to fully reset the Hyper v networking, or fully rest all
of hyper v so I can get it working again? I do use the workstation heavily, it's my work computer so it would be very difficult to impossible to reinstall the OS.

Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

 

Doesn't Hyper-V work in Windows 10?

Ok... so I decide to proceed without creating a Virtual Switch and when I get to the end of creating the Virtual Machine I get the following error:

New Virtual Machine Wizard

Hyper-V encountered an error while configuring the network for Windows 7

Hyper-V encountered an error trying to access an object on computer 'my computer name' because the object was not found. The object might not have permission to perform the task. Verify that the 'Virtual Machine Management' service on the computer is running.
If the service is running try to perform the task again by using 'Run as Administrator'.

Again, there is no service listed that says 'Virtual Machine Management'.

There is however a service listed called, 'Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management' which is indeed running.

Also, how is one supposed to try performing the task again using 'run as Administrator' from within the UI?

This should not be this tough Microsoft!!
