Help!! Somebody

I have the same problem. I can't fix the network configuration, and can't use wsl or hyper-v either.

same here....

I fixed this: it is something preventing "network driver updating"

For my case : it was this exact problem, plus Windows Sandbox errored out immediately as well.

The "windows debloating" scripts I run included the following:

# Disable automatic installation of network devices
Function DisableNetDevicesAutoInst {
	Write-Output "Disabling automatic installation of network devices..."
	If (!(Test-Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NcdAutoSetup\Private")) {
		New-Item -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NcdAutoSetup\Private" -Force | Out-Null
	}
	Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NcdAutoSetup\Private" -Name "AutoSetup" -Type DWord -Value 0
}

# Enable automatic installation of network devices
Function EnableNetDevicesAutoInst {
	Write-Output "Enabling automatic installation of network devices..."
	Remove-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\NcdAutoSetup\Private" -Name "AutoSetup" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
}

After enabling this again, In "add windows features" i unchecked : hyper-v , virtual machine platform, windows hypervisor platform, windows subsystem for linux. restarting, then checking them again installed everything fine.

Windows Sandbox works again, WSL works again, devices under : Network Connections "vEthernet" x2 no longer show "disabled" and work correctly
