Hi, my problem is described above.

When I disable the vEthernet for example, my PC (Host) losses all internet connection.

It also doesn't show the Ethernet in Task Manager.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you have encountered a virtual network adapter with Hyper-V disabled and the computer's own network also lost connectivity.

    From your screenshot, the virtual NIC does replace the host network adapter as the default network adapter.

    The problem may be a configuration confusion.

    But questions related to Hyper-V are somewhat beyond our support, maybe you can ask this question by posting in Microsoft Docs.

    There are more professionals like you out there specializing in Hyper-V.

    Thanks for your patience and understanding!
