Windows Server 2022, VirtIO NIC not identifying network but e1000 NIC does just fine?

I have a ProxMox server (8.2.2) and a fresh install of Windows Server 2022 that I ran through Sysprep with all the VirtIO drivers installed and made into a Template. I have deployed the template and set up a new server from it. For some reason the VirtIO NIC won't identify my network, but if I switch it to e1000 NIC it identifies it immediately. If I then switch back to VirtIO from e1000 it functions fine. I've looked through Device Manager and all drivers look good, tried disabling TXChecksum per an old forum post, disconnecting the NIC in the WebUI and reconnecting. No luck.

Is there a specific process I need to do with the VirtIO NIC to get it to work out of the box on the sysprepped image? Is switching it to e1000 and back the best way around this? Is this a known issue that I have missed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
