No network access for one VM (6 running fine). Hyper-V

I have a Hyper-v environment that have been fully functional for years.

As of yesterday my file server no longer can access our network. No network access.
I can reach it through our hyperv servers and have tried restarted it and resetting ever since.
I have 6 more VMs that connects without problem.

The VM is server 2019. Hyper-V servers are 2012.

I have one more 2019 server and the only difference in network setup is the driver of the NIC.
Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adapter - 10.0.17763.2145 (driver date 2006-06-21) not working
Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adapter - 10.0.17763.1577 (driver date 2006-06-21) which is working.

I find it hard to believe that this driver is causing the problem but it is the only difference I have noticed.

Tried both static and dynamic IP for the server, no luck.

I have deleted and added the network adapter several times.

I have deleted one of the virtual switch and added a new one. tried the new switch with other VM and it works.

but my file server still has no network access.

Any thoughts?

    Please run;

    Dcdiag /v /c /d /e /s:%computername% >C:\dcdiag.log
    repadmin /showrepl >C:\repl.txt
    ipconfig /all > C:\dc1.txt
    ipconfig /all > C:\dc2.txt
    ipconfig /all > C:\dc3.txt

    then put unzipped text files up on OneDrive and share a link.

    Hello Mikael H,

    Have you already tried to update virtual machine configuration version after implementing the new driver?

    Best regards,

    Okay, looks like I solved it on my Win 2022 VM, and hopefully we can apply the equivalent solution for 2019.

    I checked the Update Catalog at https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ to see what was latest for Win 2022, and there's a Cumulative Update Preview dated Sept 24th. KB5005619.
    Downloaded that, used IsoCreator to turn it into an ISO, which I could then mount on the VM, and ran the .msu within. Rebooted, and presto!
    The new network driver reports v10.0.20348.1.

    The latest update that reports itself for Server 2019 is KB5005625, dated Sept 21st. Maybe that'll work for you. If not, hopefully the next one.

    Same problem here. Running vms on Server 2019 on a hyper-v running 2016.
    Had to uninstall the September CU on the VMs. Running stable on the August CU now.
