Bala Sundaram put the following in a PowerShell script and add to task scheduler, then run at logon. Change the #staticIP to desired IP.

"powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "script.ps1""
#Sets a static IP on the HyperV default switch (Windows 10).
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
#wait for network to come up
while (-Not (Test-Connection -ComputerName 1.0.0.1 -Quiet))
{}
$staticIP = "172.18.79.1"
$hyperVnet = Get-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias "vEthernet (Default Switch)" | select InterfaceAlias,InterfaceIndex,AddressFamily,IPAddress,PrefixLength | where {$_.AddressFamily -match "IPv4"}
#Remove old IP address, otherwise there will be two IP addresses
Remove-NetIPAddress -IPAddress $hyperVnet.IPAddress -Confirm:$false
New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceIndex $hyperVnet.InterfaceIndex -IPAddress $staticIP -PrefixLength $hyperVnet.PrefixLength
