In Windows 10 Settings, Network & Internet, Ethernet, I expect to see my two active connections. Below the title "Ethernet" is a blank space and an icon labeled "Connected". If I click "Connected", it doesn't reveal any information about the connection, but only shows a "Copy" button. If I click the blank space, the space is highlighted, but nothing happens.
The Windows 10 Settings are new to me. Is this normal?

I found a solution to force the network connection to Private using PowerShell.
I suspect the real problem is with Hyper-V in Windows 10. The Network Drivers for the vEthernet connections are incomplete prior to installing Integration Services and in Windows 10, it's no longer possible to manually install Integration Services. I have to finish connecting my network and give it access to the internet so that Windows Update can install it. That's a catch-22 since the network must work correctly before you can connect to the internet.
In any event, here's the solution using PowerShell:
Set-NetConnectionProfile -interfacealias "vEthernet (Internal LAN)" -NetworkCategory Private

I shall suggest you to delete those connections and recreate afresh.
Open Device Manager > Locate Network Card adapter > Expand it > Right click and select Uninstall > Reboot > Let Windows detect the network card > Update the driver.

Hi Rain,
Thank you for your sharing and update.
In addition to the settings, we could also change adapter settings under control panel.
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections
Besides, there are other options available under the connected icon (this should be your NIC adapter) you selected, and the Copy would copy the properties of the NIC you selected, you may try to paste in notepad to check out.
If the settings shows blank, then there should be some issue with it.
Run the following command to check:
SFC /SCANNOW;
Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Besides, make sure we have installed the most recent Windows Update.
Regards

Michael,
Microsoft needs to rethink their decision to take away our ability to manually install Integration Services on Hyper-V VMs.
I tried copy and paste. Nothing pasted into Notepad. I believe the issue is with Windows 10 Hyper-V vEthernet drivers. It doesn't quite make sense to me since the drivers must be available to Windows 10 on the Windows 10 side of the link where updates are available. Later, I'll connect my VM's to the internet and allow them to update too. In the mean-time, I was able to force the connections to Private mode with PowerShell.
I'm satisfied for now. I'll know more after the VMs are able to receive Integration Services via Windows Update.

Thanks, This is the correct answer.
Additionally you should check the profile names to get the right name:
get-netconnectionprofile
