Hyper-V 2019 not finding network cards, but... they work and are there when loading the vm in 2016

I am trying to put some 17629 server into use to see the performance. For that I exported some of my development VM's, copied them over and imported them into the new cluster. They are exported from a 2016 server. Gen 2, config version 8.

 

 

After import they loose the network card configuration.

 

I take the same export, copy it on a Win 2016 and a Win 2019 cluster (just saying, maybe it is the cluster?) machine. Import the same image on both (through simple registration).

 

* Win 2016 shows me one network adapter is there

* Win 2019 shows me no network adapter present.

 

get-vmnetworkadapter shows the same. Simply no adapter present.

 

I start the WIn 2019 version (it is a 2016 server core) and do some commandline... lo and behold, the network card is still there.

 

Something is not handling this well. Now I have a configuraiton I can not change (including changing switches, VLAN ID) in Hyper-V but the NIC is active.
