According to the information provided by Lenovo for the docking station you mention --> https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/p...tion-dock/40an the Lenovo dock does NOT use DisplayLink technology.

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
