Hyper-V Default switch IP address range change. Ver 1809 Build 17763.1

sn00p The recreation of the Default Switch with a new subnet on every host reboot is definitely a bug. I'm migrating from VMware, where I use a virtual NAT network for all my VM's. I knew going in to the migration that Hyper-V has limited capabilities compared to VMware, but I didn't expect the networking to be so limited. Here's the issues I've run in to:

* - Default switch reconfigures on every host restart and there is no way to prevent it.

* - Default switch is the only way to have VM's on a virtual NAT...it's not possible to create a Internal Switch with NAT (correct?) that doesn't get reconfigured on every host restart

* - External switch must bridge to a specific host NIC. My host is a laptop that is sometimes docked and connected via ethernet and sometimes connected via wifi.

I'm new to Hyper-V (but not new to working with VMs and networking), so please correct me if I've overlooked solutions to any of the above.
