Unable to create virtual switch - Object not found error

Question

Hello Team

I am trying to create a virtual switch in hyper-v with the help of virtual switch manager in order to have the internet connectivity on my VM. My laptop is connected to the wifi and when I select it keeps loading for few minutes and throughs an error saying object not found.
After this the wifi disconnects from my laptop too.

Attached the screen shot for reference.

Answer 1

Might try open up your network adapters page, go back to create your external switch as you would normally, but while the software is still trying to configure the switch, head back to the adapters page, disable your wifi card, enable it again and you'll find that your switch will now be configured and working.
