Windows 10: hyper-v virtual Ethernet adapter multiplying

hello,

every time i restart my computer a new "Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter" appears in my device manager. I've tried deleting/uninstalling and disabling them, but keeps replicating.





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





Also, can't delete the default switch.





Thanks for help.

:)

 

Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter not working after November 2015 Windows 10 major upgrade 1511

Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter can no longer be enabled after having installed November 2015 Windows 10 major upgrade 1511. As a result, I can no longer have internet connection on my virtual machines (guests).

I tried to fully uninstall and install back Hyper-V framework on my host system (principal). But it didn't fix.

The Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter keep on remaining disabled and fails to get enabled back.

EventViewer reports the following error (EvtID 7023):

"The HvHost service terminated with the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.".

Everything was working fine with the virtual adapter before getting the upgrade.

This sounds to me as an upgrade issue. Is there any work-around to get fixed? Thanks.

 

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 ?

 

Importing Virtual PC -> Hyper V

Thank you. I followed the instructions below, and when I go to hit the action menu to install Integration services, of course, there is no such option under the Action Menu. The instructions seem so simple but I'm still missing something...

Step 4: Install or upgrade integration services

Hyper-V includes a software package for supported guest operating systems that improves integration between the physical computer and the virtual machine. This package is referred to as integration services. To learn more, see Integration
Services.

This step can't be automated or done within a Windows PowerShell session.

To install integration services

• 
  Open Hyper-V Manager. From the Server Manager Tools menu, click Hyper-V Manager.
  
• 
  Connect to the virtual machine. Right-click the name of the virtual machine and click Connect.
  
• 
  From the Action menu of Virtual Machine Connection, click Insert Integration Services Setup Disk. This action loads the setup disk in the virtual DVD drive. Depending on the guest operating system installed, you may
  need to start the installation manually.
  
• 
  After the installation finishes, all integration services are available for use.
