KB3125574 Convenience Update replaces VMXNET 3 NIC Adapter on Windows 2008 R2 VMware VM's


i have found strange issue. kb3125574 convenience update replaces vmxnet 3 nic adapter vmxnet 3 nic adapter #2 , removes static ip address information after install the update , the system rebooted. when update uninstalled, original nic adapter and ip address information restored. seems affect windows server 2008 r2 vmware vm's, have thousands in production , 75% use vmxnet 3 nic adapter. on systems intel pro/1000 nic, nic not replace disabled 10 seconds after logging on.

on windows 7 enterprise clients (vm's, desktops, laptops), update works fine. update tested on windows 2008 r2 vm running on windows 10 hyper-v instance , worked fine.

i have launched case microsoft premier support testing scenarios performed and waiting hear back.

any ideas appreciated.
