VMware virtual machine cannot use Nic bridging mode

VMware virtual machine cannot use Nic bridging mode

My VM virtual machine could have used bridging mode under Win7, but not after upgrading to Win10. I tried many ways and finally found a solution.

(the problem is that Windows 10 removed the VMware Bridge Protocol service during the upgrade.)

Methods / steps

1: execute WIN+R, pop-up "run" window, enter "services.msc" and press enter to enter the service manager

2: find the Device Install Service service. Start this service and turn it off by default.

3: right-click the shortcut to VMware-- "Click" to run "enter the VMware--" virtual network editor as an administrator

4: click to restore the default settings, and VMware will automatically uninstall the virtual network card and reinstall the online driver.

5: set the network card mode of the virtual machine to bridge mode, and start the virtual machine.
