Windows 10: Windows Hyper-V Server Core 2019 hangs after fresh install just before OOBE

I am installing Windows Hyper-V Server Core 2019 to a 512GB NVMe SSD via USB on a new Dell Precision 3660 tower. The installation proceeds as normal, first copying installation files to the NVMe, restarting, doing the spinning dot churn for setting up the system, and another automatic restart.

Hyper-V Server Core 2019

I did temporary install of hyper-v server core 2019 but was left bemused as to how we're supposed to administer system properties locally.

Several Windows Server Core Hyper-V Virtual Machines cannot ping their default gateway

We have a Windows Server Core 2019 Hyper-V server serving four Hyper-V Clients (two Windows Server 2019 GUI) and (two Windows Server Core 2019 Servers). The Hyper-V Server has full network connectivity and is a member of a domain. All 4 Virtual Machines are pingable from the Hyper-V host and each VM can ping the Hyper-V Server. They are on a 10.18.21.0-10.18.21.255 network with a gateway 10.18.21.1. The Hyper-V host and one VM has full network connectivity however the other three VMs cannot ping their default gateway 10-.18.21.1 or reach the rest of the network.

These three VMs are not reachable via connecting from Windows Server Admin also.
