Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter

[Daniel0312]

Hi
On every windows 11 (23H2) start I get a prompt from Kasperky Plus (21.19.7.527(a)) asking me what group to put that new network in.
I went to settings/security settings/firewall/available networks and set the Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter properties to "automatically move new networks to the group:" » Local network. I saved...
I was hoping it would solve that annoying prompt... no such luck : on the next restart I was asked again.
Is there a way to avoid this behavior ?

Thanks .

Hello, @Daniel0312

Can you set up a Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter with a static IP address manually? This will solve your problem.

HI !

Thank you for your reply and sorry I am a bit late to answer (haven't rebooted for some time now and the problem slipped my mind). Not knowing if that was possible, I did an internet search : setting a static IP to this virtual adapter seems possible using a netsh command at computer start or user login (superuser.com). I don't have time right now to test but will report back.

The best solution would be if the Kaspersky option I mentionned before was working...

Regards.

Hi
Not much time to investigate... I do have a script that's able to change the IP adress to my needs.
However I've been unable to have it work on windows start, or maybe it doesn't run at the right time and MS IP assignment occurs after my script runs.
I'm stuck with this very annoying prompt and judging by what I read, it seems I'm not the only one.

If anyone has a working solution... I'll try it and report.

Thanks

Well, I don't know what I did (nothing more at least), but when booting this morning I didn't get the notification... checking the available networks in the firewall settings shows the address I gave the Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter. It seems the issue is solved for me.

- Create batch file containing
netsh interface ip set address name="vEthernet (Default Switch)" static xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.255.255.0 none 
- in task scheduler create task at logon for the user you want, wether user is logged on or not, run with highest privileges. 

Hope this helps others.
