7.      Untick Allow management operating system to share this adapter. (If you check the box for “Allow management operating system to share this network adapter”, then Hyper-V will create a virtual network card for the management operating system and attach it to this virtual switch. It is not recommended that you do this unless you don’t have enough physical network cards. You can use this option to isolate the management operating system from communications between virtual machines and other computers on a physical network. However, this also means that you cannot connect to the management operating system remotely through this physical network adapter if this option is cleared.)
