windows virtual nic startup issue on esxi

hello,

i'm experiencing some distributed issues with esxi windows vms.

esxi: 6.5U1, U2; 6.7U1

vm s.o.: windows 2008r2, 2012r2, 2016

after a host reboot, when vms go on with auto startup (120sec) i notice always that vm network goes to public and i cannot ping default gateway. it happens also on domain controllers.

i notice it on most esxi networks.

i never have this issue when i restart only vm, it just happens only when i restart the hypervisor, with all my esxi.

if i disable and enable the nic on windows, everything starts working normally.

all vmware tools are up to date with the hypervisor; some vm versions are older, some current.
