Microsoft Hyper V Virtualization Infrastructure Driver

  

If you see a number of ‘hardware’ failures in Device Manager in your Virtual Machines. Specifically:

Hyper-V Network Switch Default Miniport, HyperV PCI Server
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

It loads an alternate driver in the place of the original driver to redirect the device to a Virtual machine. WVPC creates a virtualized host controller in the Virtual Machine that is being offered using a VPC Bus Channel. The Virtualization Infrastructure Driver (VID) is the parent partition kernel level interface to the Windows hypervisor using defined API interfaces called hypercalls. The required components include Windows hypervisor, Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management Service, the virtualization WMI provider, and other virtualization components such as the virtual machine bus (VMbus), virtualization service provider (VSP) and virtual infrastructure driver (VID). The management tools for the Hyper-V role consist of. Expanded capacity for Hyper-V 3.0 compared to Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V includes up to 320 vs. 64 logical processors on hardware, 4 TB vs. 1 TB of physical memory, 64 vs. 4 virtual processors, 1 TB vs. 64 GB of memory on a virtual machine, 64 vs. 16 nodes, and 8,000 vs. 1,000 virtual machines in a cluster. The Microsoft Hyper-V Guest Infrastructure Driver service is a kernel mode driver. If Microsoft Hyper-V Guest Infrastructure Driver fails to start, the error is logged. Windows 10 startup proceeds, but a message box is displayed informing you that the vmgid service has failed to start. Rockstar hindi movie cast members.

You can safely right click and uninstall the:

  1. Microsoft Hyper-V PCI Server
  2. Microsoft Hyper-V Virtual Machine Bus Provider, and
  3. Microsoft Hyper-V Virtualization Infrastructure Driver

but the Hyper-V Network Switch Default Miniport will not go. Fortunately there is an easy fix for this. Mikrotik on vmware esxi. To resolve the ‘bang’ (yellow triangle) on the Hyper-V Network Switch Default Miniport, simply:

  1. In Hyper-V Manager (or Cluster Server Manager), click on the VM in question
  2. Go into SETTINGS and expand INTEGRATION SERVICES
  3. Remove the check mark from all of the services
  4. Reboot the VM (you can check to make sure there are no errors/failures showing in DEVICE MANAGER if you want)
  5. Go back into SETTINGS and expand INTEGRATION SERVICES
  6. Add the check mark to enable any of the services you want to be provided from the Host to the VM’s. In most cases other than DC’s you will want to enable all Integration Services. In the case of a DC, you will likely want to exclude the TIME SYNCHRONIZATION service.
  7. Reboot
  8. Enjoy

In my case, these failed devices appeared after upgrading a HyperV VM from version 5 to version 8 (Server 2016) but other processes will cause these issues too. This fix came from the Microsoft Partner Support forum I posted in a few days ago and you can read more details HERE if you care.
