Windows 10: VM missing Explorer.exe

Finally got around to creating a VM in Hyper-V. All went well, except..... I seems to have a problem with Explorer.exe. Desktop icons go nowhere. File explorer goes nowhere. Nothing happens. Explorer is not running. I re-created the VM and installed 10586 3 times, same results. All updates done. Winver is 10586.63 and is activated. Settings works, but nothing from desktop icons (standard ones). Can't open One Drive folder from notification icon. Any clues?? Thanks, TC.....

Windows 10 - stopped connecting to WiFi

I've seen that symptom too. It happens to my VM which gets to use the Wi-Fi. The VM says the Ethernet connection is unplugged (in its Network Connections, Win-x w). Unfortunately there are no virtual Ethernet plugs. Instead what I then find on the host
side is that the Wi-Fi connection is Connected but not Secured. Then I have to open it and tell it to Connect (even though it says it can Connect Automatically). Presumably if it wasn't set to Connect Automatically I might have to enter the connection's
key when prompted. These details are most apparent via the Settings Network & Internet GUI.

We can use the following syntax in a PowerShell window to get there

start explorer.exe ms-settings:network

or in my case directly into the Wi-Fi node

start explorer.exe ms-settings:network-wifi

So I guess in your case that could be

start explorer.exe ms-settings:ethernet

Incredibly it seems that is case sensitive.

Windows 10 Store App

The fact that it is a VM is not relevant. The VM is just a proof the bug is repeatable. The real issue is that I'm missing the binaries for the Windows Store and it doesn't appear there is any way to get them back. Is there some downloadable msi package
for installing the Windows Store?

 

Let's start in an assuring, professional way: I have not a clue what could cause that! I have never had any issues with Windows virtual machines.

Joking aside, the basics:

• You set up an external switch before installing?
• The switch is working, vm has Internet connection?
• The vm installs without issues?
• A local or MS account?
• If you create additional users, is the behavior the same?
• Post a screenshot of the vm RAM settings (see example below)
