Since the update randomly my Windows 10 VM loses connectivity. OSX continues to have connectivity. Running the Windows 10 Network Troubleshooter results in the error message '"Ethernet 3" doesn't have a valid IP configuration'. With no further action on my part, after 10-15 minutes the Windows 10 VM will reconnect and run fine..until it happens again. I have been unable to find any recent reports of this type of problem in the Parallels forums. This appears to have begun after the Windows update (and the Parallels 12 update). Is anyone else having this issue, and does anyone know of an action I can take to fix this?

Hi StephenS4,
Please (re)install Parallels Tools to check if the issue still persists, also you can try to change shared network mode to Bridged network and let us know how it works.

@StephenS4 Glad to know about that. Let us know if you need further assistance with Parallels.
I found this on the Internet and think it might be helpful.

Also, many users suggested to use static IP instead of dynamic.
