Windows 10 host : no network adapter available

Post by ADEWIT »

Hi everyone.

After upgrading my Windows 7 Home edition to Windows 10 ; all network connection are lost !

I re-install Virtualbox version 5 but still the same problem !

Does anyone have a solution - workaround ?

For Windows 7 I had to edit the registry and add this line : *NdisDeviceType DWORD 1
This line still exist due to the upgrade to Windows 10.

Regards

I'm having exactly the same issue when upgrading from Windows 8.1 Pro to Win 10 Pro.

Reinstalling doesn't appear to work.

Prior to upgrading to Win10 I was using my Apple iPhone 6+ as a personal hotspot with my laptop that's running VirtualBox and it was working without an issue. It's not showing any device in the drop down list anymore

Thanks guys, but we already have a Win10 host discussion topic (see sticky at top of forum). That will be the only such topic allowed, until Win10 host support is announced.
