hyper-v Issues Creating Virtual Switch in Hyper-V

[eroc1990]

Hi all,

 

Pretty sure this is my first time posting on LTT so first, nice to meet you all! Now that the formalities are out of the way, let's get down to business.

 

For the last what feels like forever, I've been trying to get Hyper-V working for me again. There was a point months ago where I had it installed on my computer but due to disk space issues, I decided to remove the feature and its VMs and drives. Upon purchasing a larger SSD and installing it in my system, I reinstalled Hyper-V. Since then, however, I've been unable to create any virtual switches. Even attempting to open the Virtual Switch Manager results in the following error:

An error occurred while trying to retrieve a list of virtual switches.

The operation on computer 'My PC" failed: Generic failure

I've run sfc/ scannnow and tried restoring the image health with DISM and neither have found any errors in my OS image that would cause this.

My computer is an Asus GL752VW. i7-6700HQ, 16GB DDR4 RAM, running Windows 10 Pro Ver. 1803 Build 17134.285.

 

Any chance anyone else has had this issue and might be able to guide me through resolving this?

 

Thanks!

What device is the virtual switch connected to? Network switch settings screenshot?

No virtual switch yet exists because I can't access the virtual switch manager to create one.

 

Here's the network connections pane of my control panel. My physical Wired/Wireless adapters are in the left column of adapters, and the remaining 3 are various VPN adapters related to other programs I have installed.

why can't you access the virtual switch manager?  Have you installed hyper-v?
