Lose network connection on dock when creating virtual switch in Hyper-V

Hello,

This is a Windows problem with the Hyper-V virtual switch.
I've experienced it regularly without a dock Ethernet, using just the laptop and using the Wi-Fi card for the outbound connection as my house is not Ethernet cabled.
Also, as noted, that dock doesn't use DisplayLink, so even if the DisplayLink driver is installed, it will not be used.

I suggest you report the problem to Microsoft.

Regards,
Alban
