  The default switch is created by Hyper-V. If you do not use Hyper-V, remove it from Control Panel>Programs & Features>Windows Features. Simply remove the check mark from the box.

If you don’t need to use Hyper-V feature, Bill’s method is complete correct and effective.

Otherwise, the following information will be helpful.

The virtual switch configuration stored within the following key:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VMSMP\Parameters\SwitchList

After they deleted the corresponding value within that key and rebooted, the virtual switch was gone.

Just go to device manager, network adapters, right click and uninstall

Nope, that does not work. After a reboot all the vEthernets come back.
