Powershell Get-NetAdapter breaks when vLANs exist

As current versions of Windows 10 no longer have integrated vLAN configuration, we moved to install Intel ProSet to configure our vLANs. This works relatively well in the GUI, but we have issues using powershell to manage the interfaces. Once the vLANs are configured, Get-NetAdapter no longed work.

This is not related to the ProSet powershell modules, as this happens if if they are not loaded, and does not seem to be related to the vendors, as this happens in Dell and Lenovo machines alike.
It seems that is asked in Intel forums as well, but with no clear answer.

I am posting this in the Optiflex forum, although we see the same issue with precision desktops

Any ideas?
