    Parallels support is no help (cookie cutter links to outdated KB articles)
    I am using Parallels Desktop 10 on a Mac Pro (cylinder) and the "final" release version of Windows 10.
    The LAN adapter continues to revert to "unidentified network" status. With much fiddling, trying thing like disabling all protocols on the adapter except IPv4, I can get the network to give me internet access, but once I try to access any server within our network, it reverts to "unidentified network."

    1. Manual settings for IPv4 make no difference.
    2. Re-installing Parallel Tools makes no difference
    3. ALL possible setting combinations under Network for the VM have been tried, selecting a different adapter, host only network, etc. - no difference.
    4. There is nothing physically wrong with the network. The LAN connection works fine in OSX and all other VMs, Ubuntu 12.04, Windows 7, Windows 8.1

    So, I am hoping someone here has come across this problem and found a solution.

    Thanks

    Same here I have to restart the VM to solve the problem.

    The KB article does not apply. I did try it, but in my case, Windows 10 was a clean install on a new VM, not an upgrade from a previous version, so the registry key in question does not exist in a new install.

    I am having the exact same issue. Fresh install of "Final" Windows 10 (not an upgrade) causing the "Unidentified Network" issue.

    I have used Parallels for many years, (Windows XP, 7, 8 and pre release 10 VM's) without this issue. All connected from the same host OS X, all shared network type. Network setting the same inside each Windows VM.

    Sometimes when i fiddle with the Network Type in parallels (flip back and forth the network type), it will connect and I have network connectivity in the VM. But, after a reboot it reverts back.
