Hostonly Adapter MIA after windows 10 updates
Posted: 1. Dec 2017, 07:25
Hi,
Some time in the last 2 weeks windows updates have killed my hostonly adapter (and thus a lot of Vagrant related VMs).
I did a clean install and the adapter doesn't get created at all. Trying to create one manually through either the gui or command line fails. Here is the results from the command line:
I have included the windows version in case it is relevant. The issue originally occured with 5.1.30 but I reinstalled the latest available today and there is no difference.
This is happening to quite a few people in out company. We were moving away from VMWare, but if we can't resolve this we will have to go back.
Any help is appreciated !
Thanks.
