I just upgraded from from Win 7 to Win 8 enterprise and have installed hyper-v. I am now unable to add any network switches (external, internal or private). I have uninstalled hyper-v and my nics multiple times. I have also tried to adding a switch using the powershell command New-VMSwitch.
All the errors come down to a file not found error but here is the one from powershell:
New-VMSwitch : Failed while creating virtual Ethernet switch.
Switch create failed, name = '21B8292F-A4FD-4FFF-93A9-76602E2DE9EE', friendly name = '': The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002).
The operation failed because the file was not found.
At line:1 char:1
+ New-VMSwitch "Wireless NIC" –NetAdapterName "Wi-Fi" –MinimumBandwidthMode Weight
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.VMTask:VMTask) [New-VMSwitch], Virtualizati
onOperationFailedException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ObjectNotFound,Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.Commands.NewVMSwitchCommand
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
