    Windows 10 Hyper-V "Default Switch" question


    Hi,


    The VMs on Windows 10 Hyper-V set to use the default switch on Windows 10 Hyper-V receive dynamic IP addresses. There is no setting to set it to static. I'm assuming there is NAT set up behind the scene that supplies those IPs.

    To get around this issue I have set up a NAT and everything works but came across a Hyper-V on Windows 2016 article that stated that on Windows only a single NAT is supported. Two questions:

    1- Is is still the case on Windows 10?

    2- When I do issue "Get-NetNat" command, only my custom NAT shows up. I don't see the one which I assumed to be behind the "default switch" shows up. What am I missing? Or is my assumption incorrect?

    Thanks!

    :)

    Windows 10 x64 v1809 - Hyper-V Virtual Switch Manager Unable to Create Default Switch

    This is did not resolve the issue of the Virtual Switch Manger being unable to create the Default Switch that is supposed to exist in Hyper-V.

    Although I did try the suggested procedure, it si my understanding this fix is intended for addressing problems with user created switches, not the Hyper-V "Default Switch".

    Windows 10 x64 v1809 - Hyper-V Virtual Switch Manager Unable to Create Default Switch

    After upgrading to v1809 from v1803, I turned Hyper-V feature Off then On.

    Since the upgrade, 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 to delete all adapters and Turned Hyper-V feature Off/On several times with no success.

    Suggestions welcome. Windows 10 Hyper-V "Default Switch" question :) Thanks
