Please stop speaking for MS, it is stated nowhere that
Microsoft never designed the default switch for long term usage or advanced usage like on a virtual server (VM)

The documentation said nothing about it. I've spent hours just to figure out that it's simply broken.

Any serious server admin knows Not to use the default switch for any server.
It's not true again. You could use any default switch from every other software vendor except MS no matter are you serious or not.
Why don't you just understand that it's not a feature, it's a bug, nobody doing this stuff except MS. Nobody period.

Hyper-V has a Default Switch for easy networking

Does a professional user who wants to setup a Virtual Server for serious work use something that is made for easy network? if he/she does then he/she is No longer called professional, but amateur. and for amateurs, Microsoft created the Default switch.
