Vmnet host adapters disabled but in VM network is working fine

I had to "clean" my Windows 10 Pro Network configuration and disabled the VMnet host adapters on Windows (host-netsh-report.jpg)

Then I rebooted the host and noticed that when I started a Windows VM it was still accessing Internet (via NAT Vmnet8, vm-network-settings.jpg) but all the VMnet adapters are disabled. Is this an expected behaviour? (for me, it's not...)

I have double-checked that the VMnet host adapters are still disabled (after reboot).

VMware Workstation 16.2.5 / Windows 10 Pro

Thanks

Strange issue. Check VMware tools and VM hardware compatibility.

If the issue will be there - probably issue somewhere else
