When a game does something it shouldn't

So I see ads for this game state of survival by you tube and was going to give it a try installed fine then it asked for a reboot which I through was odd but did any way before the PC reboot windows said update under way or something and then I had no internet I was like really hope this game didn't screw my windows I did a ping that worked so the problem must be DNS I went and looked at my network setting and you never believe what it did without asking! It uninstalled my Hyper-V services all my VLAN's gone! So yes that game is now uninstall.

And I don't get way such a game needed to uninstall Hyper-V services thats just wrong.

Maybe it installed some sort of anti cheat networking protocol and reset the stacks which removed your Hyper-V stuff ??

Even if it did in my book reset the networks is not nice and I bet if a re-setup the Vlan it would say something but its the fact that when install the game it never said it will remove Hyper-V services or reset the stack.

FaceIt Anti-cheat, ESEA and others aren't fans of Hyper-V or other virtualisation.

Terminate the VLANs on an upstream router: a Mikrotik hEX or Ubiquiti Edgerouter would do fine. Use 'smart' switches to segment layer 2. No need to span VLANs with a PC.

Should've received a Windows UAC prompt when the game disabled the hypervisor, too.

Thats the thing a don't have Hyper-V hypervisor installed just Hyper-V services with Hyper-V management tools.

The VLAN's are tagged the only way round it is install a 4 port NIC to do each VLAN even then I need one more port!
