Research direction

Start by reproducing the connection on Windows 10 version 10.0.19045.6456 and compare the virtual adapter state before and after connecting. The fix is complete when connecting with the Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter disabled no longer creates a redundant adapter, while the existing interface behavior remains unchanged.
