Windows 10: Another "no internet access with default switch" thread

I see there are plenty of these out there already but none of them seemed to answer the problem I'm having.

My host machine is Windows 10 Pro, fully updated. I've been running a VM using Hyper-V for some months now. It runs Windows 10 1709 and uses the default switch. No problems at all.

I tried creating an Ubuntu 18.04.2 VM just to play around with it, using the Quick Create feature. I used all default settings, as plain vanilla a setup as possible. No problems accessing the internet. After playing with Ubuntu for a bit I shut it down and deleted that VM.

Now I'm back to the one VM setup (still Win 10) and decide to try another one, this running Windows 10 Pro 1809. Again I used the default switch, but this time I have no internet access through this VM and nothing I try seems to fix this.

I've tried shutting down the first VM, deleting and reinstalling the second, all to no avail. Internet access on the host and the first VM seem to be completely unaffected, I just can't get the second Windows VM connected like I did the Ubuntu machine when I had it up.

I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Cortana switched to Internet Explorer

Hi,



When you say “tried uninstalling Internet Explorer”, how exactly you tried uninstalling it?

For your information, I like to share that Internet Explorer is an inbuilt browser in Windows operating system and you cannot uninstall it.



To check the Windows build, I suggest you to follow the step below.

• Press Windows key + R key, type winver and press
  Enter key.

Also, I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• 
  Type Default in the Search bar and select
  Default Programs from the list of search result.
  
• 
  Find and click on Reset option at the bottom of the page.
  
• 
  Restart the system and check if the issue is resolved.
  

Hope the information helps. Kindly write back to us with the updated status of the issue for further assistance on Windows. We will be happy to assist you.



Thank you

 

Virtual Switch Manger Unable to Create Default Switch in v1809


After upgrading to v1809 I turned Hyper-V feature Off then On. Since then the Default Switch no longer exists and the Virtual Switch Manager is unable to crate it automatically as it would normally. I can see the Default Switch appear for a few seconds in the Network Adapters, then its gone. This happens several time whenever I launch the Virtual Switch Manager.

I can create other virtual switches.
Once the Virtual Switch Manager lists the Default Switch with a Load Failed message.

I have used netcfg -d command and Turned Hyper-V feature Off/On several times with no success.

Suggestions welcome. Thanks

• Click on start and type ‘troubleshooting’ and press enter.
• Click on ‘View all’ on top left corner.

Also, check if the issue persists by connecting to a different network.
