I've recently having trouble with WiFi on my SP3, it would give me the dreaded "Limited" connection, and sometimes no WiFi at all. I could turn it off and back on and get WiFi for a while, then lose it again. I was about ready to pack it up had head for the Microsoft store, but decided to let Google be my friend.
I soon found a couple of articles that said Hyper-V was the culprit, and if I turned it off it would fix it, although I haven't a clue about how it got turned on.
Reaserching further I found the command line string "bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off" and wallah! WiFi was back in all its glory.
I found another way to turn it off by going to "settings" and searching for "Windows Features" which would bring up a list of things (most of which I have no idea of what they do) and uncheck "Hyper-V"
Both methods require a reboot to actually turn Hyper-V off.
The problem arises for those people who actually use virtual machines, I wonder if VirtualBox or some other VM software would exhibit the same problem. I don't know and until I need to run a VM I don't care! Maybe MS will have it fixed by then but I'm not holding my breath.
