This can be an extremely annoying issue, especially if you need the VM to work remotely or run a program with specific requirements that need an Internet connection.

Knowing the importance of Hyper V to users, we have prepared this guide to help fix this issue for good, just like we did with the can’t install Hyper-V problem.

How do I get the internet back on Hyper-V?

1. Make a new Virtual Network Switch

1. Turn off your Windows 10 virtual machine.
2. Press the Windows key, type hyper v, and select the Hyper-V Manager.
3. Click on the Virtual Switch Manager option in the panel to your right.
   
4. In the newly opened window, click the New virtual network switch option in the left pane.
5. Now, choose External > Create virtual switch.
   
6. Next, change the name of your virtual machine inside the Virtual Switch Properties window.
7. Under the Connection type section, choose External network > Realtek PCIe GBE Familly Controller.

If you are facing the Hyper V no internet on your default switch, you might need to create a new virtual machine.

Tip
