Are you complaining that the host shows the "Host-Only" adapter as broken if a VM is not running? To get rid of that simply un-check the "Notify me when this adapter has limited or no connectivity" checkbox in the Properties dialog for the Host-Only adapter.

Obviously your version of the Dialog may say something similar in your language.

I use Win7 and my VM is WinXP.
The adapter "Host-only" (Win7) is active but not connected when the VM (WinXP) is ruinning.
In VM (WinXP), the adapter is active and connected, but no there comunication.
Before it was correct (both connected), but no connection after update (VB).
