    [BUG] "Random hardware addresses" disable for known network does not work!


    The title say it all.

    I have discovered this issue at work, where my MAC is whitelisted for no-limit speed.

    When I enable "Random hardware addresses" at wifi setting page, the "Random hardware address" is used even for known "whitelisted" networks.


    OS Win 10 Pro x64 Build: 17763.379

    Random Hardware Address Used for Windows 10?

    Thank you for replying. I followed the link's instructions and checked for all Wifi ntwks and specific Wifi networks and my version (see orig. post), doesn't have 'Use random hardware addresses.'
    under either screen.

    I looked through each link below and couldn't find it either.

    For all Wifi I get:

    Wifi on/off with these links:

    -Show Available Networks

    -Hardware PropertiesManage Know Networks

    WiFi Services:

    -Find paid plans for suggested open hotspots near me on/off

    -Connect to suggested open hotspots on/off

    Hotspot 2.0 networks:

    Let me use Online Sign-Up to get connected on/off

    Related Settings with these links:

    -Change Adapter Options

    -Change Advanced Sharing Options

    -Network and Sharing Center

    -HomeGroup

    -Windows Firewall

    For specific Wifi under Manage Known Networks I get a choice to
    turn on or off:

    -Connect Automatically when in Range-Make this PC discoverable

    -Metered connection

    -Properties (of the router I selected)

    Is it just not on my version of Windows 10 Home?

    Random Hardware Address Used for Windows 10?

    Hi,

    There are two controls for using random hardware addresses. One is for all WiFi networks, and the other one is for the specific WiFi network you choose. For instructions on how to use random hardware addresses, we advise that you visit this
    link.

    Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes.
    We are happy to help you out.
