    External Virtual Switch no longer works after upgrading to Windows 11


    I had a functional VM under Windows 10 with an external virtual switch bridged to my primary ethernet adapter. After upgrading to Windows 11, the virtual switch no longer works, and the VM is unable to connect to the network. When looking at the adapter status, I see traffic on the physical adapter instead of vSwitch0. I took the following steps to recreate the switch:Shut down the VMDeleted the network interface from the VMDeleted the Virtual SwitchRecreated the virtual switch, making sure to check the box allowing the management system to share the connection - At this point, my PC dropped

    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. External Virtual Switch no longer works after upgrading to Windows 11 :) Thanks

    Hyper-V VM External Virtual Switch for Wifi adapter Not Working after Upgrade to Windows 10

    After I upgraded Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise, My existing VM external virtual switch stopped working. I then removed the existing switch and tried to create a new external virtual switch with wifi adapter. Everytime I try, I get an error:

    - I tried to remove existing network adapter from device manager (show hidden network), still it did not work

    - I tried reinstalling Hyper-V VM, it did not help either
