    Hi @Debtanu Biswas

    To see the network bridge adapter, you can try the following steps:

    1. Open the Control Panel and navigate to Network and Sharing Center.
    2. Click on Change adapter settings on the left-hand side of the window.
    3. Look for the network bridge adapter. If it is not visible, click on the Organize menu and select Layout > Menu bar.
    4. Click on the View menu and select Show hidden devices.
    5. The network bridge adapter should now be visible. If it is disabled, right-click on it and select Enable.

    If you are still unable to see the network bridge adapter, you can try resetting the network stack by running the following command in cmd: netsh winsock reset

    Hope the information is helpful.

    Best Regards,
