Powershell Get-NetAdapter breaks when vLANs exist

Question

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.
