Host Windows 10 (updated 8.1) no bridge connection available

Post by Tomasz »

After Windows 8.1 update to 10, I updated 4.3.28 to 4.3.30 (without touching VMs).

After both updates I can't select any interface for bridge networking - available only "Not selected".

Reinstalling whole VBox both versions 28 and 30 didn't change anything. Manual install of VBox Bridge Driver doesn't give any error, but service is not added in NIC properties.

It's pure W 10 Pro with all drivers without any additional software - only integrated Defender and firewall are working.
I'll double check if problem exists on my second computer, and if so, it would be safe to assume for now there is compatibility problem with bridge on W 10.

NAT works just fine - in case of problems use it, or (if You still can) put Win 10 update on hold.

4.3.x is not compatible with bridging on Windows 10, only 5.x.
Also Windows 10 is not yet supported. See the dedicated topic for further discussion.
