I have one user who is having issues with Hyper-V on Windows 8.1. Anytime we create an external virtual network the host loses connectivity and the virtual network continues to say, "Identifying." I believe that Hyper-V is having trouble creating the virtual network. Here are some of the steps we've taken thus far:
- Removed the Hype-V feature and added it back
- Updated all the network drivers
- Disabled antivirus (Trend)
- Installed all recent Windows updates
- Disabled Windows Firewall
- Ran Hyper-V with elevated privileges
We are experiencing the same issue with the Wi-Fi connection. I've been using Hyper-V on Windows 8 for quite a while and haven't seen this issue before. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
