Recently I installed Windows 8.1 x64 on my PC.
Then I enabled Hyper-V in Windows and created a new external virtual switch.
I have the latest LAN driver installed (my ethernet controller is Intel 82579).
There is a problem with my ethernet. When I start my PC (eg. in the morning), the ethernet is not working, I have a red cross on the ethernet tray icon. In Device Manager, the device has status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
In Device Manager, if I "Scan for hardware changes", the problem dissapears.
Or if I restart my PC - the problem also dissapears.
The problem seems to occur only when I perform a cold-start of my PC.
Moreover, there's no problem with Windows 8.1 WITHOUT Hyper-V and virtual switch.
I've spent many hours searching the internet for a solution, but all have failed. Can someone help me? It's very frustrating.
UPDATE
The problem is also with VirtualBox instead of Hyper-V.

Try rolling back the driver – Ramhound – 2014-01-05T02:54:15.517
It didn't help. I think the problem is not with the driver. – Darmak – 2014-01-06T13:56:57.497
