MinimWatch problem with Hyper-V

MinimWatch problem with Hyper-V
I'm running MinimWatch on a Windows 10 Pro system, that has Hyper-V installed, monitoring MinimServer on a QNAP system. This has been fine for several years, but I've recently noticed that MinimWatch is now greyed out.

The only recent changes that I recall are Java 8 to Update 161 and some Windows updates including 2018-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709.

I've read the "MinimWatch not running after Java update" thread but think this is different.

The MinimWatch logs shows
MinimWatch 0.8.4 update 57, Copyright © 2012-2017 Simon Nash. All rights reserved.
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_161-b12)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.161-b12, mixed mode)
Platform default charset is windows-1252
Active subnet is 192.168.50.176
Startup complete

That active subnet is not what I'm expecting, it should be 192.168.128...


ipconfig /all shows
Ethernet adapter vEthernet (Default Switch):

It looks like MinimWatch is getting the active subnet based on the IPv4 adddress of Ethernet adapter vEthernet (Default Switch) and one of the Windows updates has changed Hyper-V networking.

Any ideas to get MinimWatch working again would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks
Paul

RE: MinimWatch problem with Hyper-V
Sorted - as documented in the Troubleshooting section, I've used the ohnet.subnet property to specify the correct subnet.
