Win10 HyperV - no networking till vSwitch disabled/enabled

[andyinv]

OK, so this has be stumped. I work with HyperV daily, but never seen this before.

Win10 at home, did have Virtualbox on it, but moved to HyperV. Created my virtual switch and set it to share networking with the host - but every time I boot, I have no networking until I disable/re-enable the HyperV switch. Takes just a couple seconds, but I have to do this every time.

Can see nothing wrong, perhaps a dependency or timing issue - but damned if I can spot it. Any ideas?

Not sure as I have not played with hyper-v much, but maybe you can set the service that you are restarting to Delayed Start and see if that works or not

I don't really know anything about HyperV virtualization, but are the virtual machines really booting, or just resuming from a saved state?

What do you mean by "no networking" exactly. No internet connection in the VM? No connectivity to the LAN? No connectivity to other VMs?

Are you accessing these VMs with Remote Desktop or right through HyperV?

Also yeah, are these VMs being rebooted or restoring from a paused state?

I'd also try deleting and recreating the virtual switch, could be a rogue checkbox that got clicked not playing nice.

1. The vm that you are starting, what OS does it have?
2. Have you tried adding a Legacy Network Adapter?
