    KB3101106 - Cannot create a Hyper-V virtual switch on 64-bit versions of Windows 10


    The issue is that when trying to create a Virtual Switch on Windows 10 when the computer has been upgraded to a newer version of Windows 10, the operation fails as described on the article below.

    Not mentioned in the article, the failed creation of the virtual switch leaves the machine without network connectivity as well.


    The Easy Fix provided works for restoring general connectivity to the computer, but it at least in my case did not restore the ability to create a Virtual Switch.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/virtualization/cannot-create-hyper-v-virtual-switch#resolution


    In summary, you need to reinstall windows in order to be able to create a virtual switch after an in-place upgrade?

    :)

    cannot create a Hyper-V virtual switch on Windows 64 bit after updating to version 2004

    Hi there,

    After updating my Windows 10 Pro to Version 2004 (Build 19041.338) I cannot create any new virtual switch on Hyper-V, the issue and symtoms are exactly the same as here: Cannot create a Hyper-V virtual switch - Windows Client.

    The fix on the link obviously does not work, and even after researching a lot I cannot find a solution.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks
