Hyper-V virtual switch error 8000FFFF

hey i've got windows 10 TP on my Hyper-V virtual machine on my Windows 8.1 . The problem is I need to get the VM to get connected to internet so I tried create an external virtual switch, but when I try to create it ,
it shows me an error-
"failed while adding virtual ethernet swith connections
ethernet port {something...}
bind failed: catastrophic failure(0*8000FFFF)."
this happens when i assign external network provider as my Realtek RTL8723BE wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC. this is my wireless network adapter.
The switch is created when i assign the external network provider as Realtek PCIe GBE family controller, this is my ethernet adapter, but since there is no internet connection via ethernet, this is of no use to me. Please help. My laptop is Lenovo z50-70, and windows 8.1

I have a Wi-Fi connection which is tethered to my LTE phone. I use it as external switch that has internet connection. It works now, but it has worked before in 8.1 and my Pro 1 has gone thru updates up to build 10049.

The problem is even if you use the external connection, you have to connect it through the wireless adapter right?, mine isn't working the wireless adapter, but it is being created fine by Ethernet adapter, which is of no use to me since I'm on Wi-Fi.

Yes, I use the wireless adapter.

Is the wireless adapter working on the host?

yes it is working well, also i created a switch connecting it to the ethernet adapter, but the put the network sharing option on the wireless adapter to the switch,but still no internet connection in VM. and when i tried to hook up the wireless adapter itself to a new switch, it showed me the above error.
