HotCakeX NAT is not about routes, it's about network address translation. And that switch is for NAT isn't it? But it's black-boxed and the only configuration parameter opened (static IP address) is simply broken, changing randomly every time you boot your computer. Why? No clues, nobody does this except MS. And documentation either not complete or it's just a bug.
Again, switch is not allowed to change it's own address randomly if configured statically. If MS made it intentionally, they should fire their developers and hire professionals.
This scenario is a dead horse. It's usable only in few cases. Again, all other virtualization software do things right in few clicks but not MS. Why? No clues.
Windows costs money. And the thing you have to buy yet another software to make it works is just bad. Because it's working pretty weird out of the box and workarounds are broken too.

I didn't talk about NAT, not even a word in my comment.
why? i told you why in my previous comment but you seem to ignore the reasoning behind it and keep on saying how bad Windows is. i can also write a book about how bad Linux is. but it's not about that. whether or not Windows costs money is off topic and not related to this thread.
i told you the solution for your problem, it's to use External Switch. I don't see why you don't want to use it. you don't need another software for it. Hyper-V doesn't need another license to use, it comes built-in by Windows 10.
again I provided real life facts and reasoning for why Windows does what it does and how it is helpful in what situations.
