The exact command to reproduce the issue: minikube start --vm-driver=hyperv --virtual-switch-name=""

This is something which I have observed on my own machine as well. Instead of asking the users (Atleast on Windows & Hyper-V), to create a new External Switch, use the Default Switch which is provisioned by Hyper-V.

The issue is described over here - https://superuser.com/questions/1266248/hyper-v-external-network-switch-kills-my-hosts-network-performance

If you pass the default switch name, the performance is not affected.

We need to -

  1. Document the issue somewhere in our repo as well.
  2. Check if this issue happens on < Windows 10 and if a Default switch is available or not.

I don't have logs and screenshots but I was unable to use the default switch and ended up assuming that a manually created external vswitch in HyperV is a required essential. And coupled with the fact that it was a bridge as per my assumptions, I avoided it and moved to virtualbox so that I can have the reliability of NAT and not have to deal with bridging my wifi interface and impacting my laptop reliability. I hope to add more info when i test hyperv again.
thnx

Does this mean that minikube already uses the default switch if --virtual-switch-name is not provided?

If so #4079 isn't necessary.

@tstromberg - No, that is not the case. That PR is necessary but I wonder when it will be merged...

if hyperv is to be used, maybe it can be made default on windows

IMHO, the default switch should be the default for minikube. How do we do so?
