Windows 10 Insider Preview–Build 10565 and Hyper-V virtual network adapters

Hi to all,

Few days ago I decided to update OS on my laptop to Windows 10 Enterprise Insider Preview Evaluation copy, Build 10565 from the previous version. To be clear, I have installed Hyper-V role, few of virtual machines and two of external virtual adapters as can you see on the picture below.

After installation finished and laptop restarted, virtual network adapters was broken and unusable.

Issues:
Cannot use virtual network adapters anymore, cannot delete virtual network adapters and cannot do anything with virtual network adapter, but still… Winking smile

How to resolve:
Uninstall Hyper-V role, install again, create new virtual switches and go ahead.

Advice:
Friend of mine Tomica asked me; Romeo, why you didn’t uninstall Hyper-V role before update? Smile
So, uninstall Hyper-V role before of Build 10565 installation and you will not have any problem.

Cheers!

Romeo

Hyper-V Security new book available

Few days ago my Hyper-V MVP fellows wrote great book “Hyper-V Security”.
Book Description:

Keeping systems safe and secure is a new challenge for Hyper-V Administrators. As critical data and systems are transitioned from traditional hardware installations into hypervisor guests, it becomes essential to know how to defend your virtual operating systems from intruders and hackers.

Hyper-V Security is a rapid guide on how to defend your virtual environment from attack.

This book takes you step by step through your architecture, showing you practical security solutions to apply in every area. After the basics, you’ll learn methods to secure your hosts, delegate security through the web portal, and reduce malware threats.

Here you can find book:
