Every boot yields two issues related to the Host Network Service and my guess is that it is these that are preventing any Virt Machines from running. i.e., both Sandbox and Hyper-V initiated VMs. The only difference between the two Events are their timestamps and ThreadIDs: 3732 immediately followed by 12444. Both Sandbox and Hyper-V VMs were working but then stopped about a week ago.

System Info shows Hyperviser is detected.

Troubleshooting steps taken thus far are WUpdate Repair Install, DISM and SFC, Remove Optional Windows Features, and Install Optional Windows Features. Net result = no change.
