did you upgrade your PC from Windows 7 or Windows 8 to Windows 8.1?

may I know your PC spec?

some of NIC or driver cant support Hyper-V virtual switch or need to be updated 

I would suggest to reinstall network driver (LAN, WIFI and Bluetooth) the driver or update to the latest version (find the driver and updated one at your PC manufactured site). Also update your chipset (if any)
