Group Policy Update and Hyper V vEthernet disconnects

I am running a Linux VM in Hyper V and was noticing that every so often my open ssh sessions were getting disconnected for no reason. After tracing all connections I narrowed it down to the connection being disconnected during GPO updates. I can reproduce by running gpupdate /force. This does not affect any ssh sessions running on WSL1, it only affects ssh connections using the Hyper V vEthernet adaptor which also means WSL2 connections are reset as well. I have also proven this by running a constant ping on an address and running the GPO update. During the update the ping returns destination unreachable for a few iterations, twice as shown in the screen shot.171415-vethernet-disco.jpg

Is there anything I can do to stop these disconnects?

    Hello @Casey Sease

    When the behavior is consistent and reproduceable in most or 100% of cases, the recommendation is directly communicate the Bug to Microsoft through:

    Hope this helps with your query,
