Windows 10: 13x TAP-Windows Adapter V9?

Hi guys, i really need help on this. Anyways, lets get started. So, as i recently wanted to check why my Gigabit Adapter does not take in Gigabit anymore since the upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, i checked by in the Network Sharing Center, and went under the Adapter Settings. There, i found 13! TAP-Windows Adapter V9, and i tried to disable them and uninstall them in the device manager, i even tried a registry thing i found in a spanish windows forums, but they just keep enabling and installing themselves. Can anyone of you help me figure out what does this? I noticed a huge impact on network speed and performance (i.e, i had before those came a 100MBit Up and Down speed, now i have 10Mbit Up and Down -_-). So ye, i really want them gone, here a screenshot:




Also if you could help me figure out why i cant take in Gigabit anymore on my "Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I218-V" on Windows 10 Pro, that would be great (because where i live now, i can get Gigabit and i would really like that, but Windows 10 Pro broke it *Sad (No its not the cable or so wich is broken, because the adapter should still say it can take in 1GBit in the Properties of the adapter, wich it did back in Windows 8.1 Pro, and i was using a Wireless Adapter))

The ads you are hearing ar produced by malware on your PC, you should download the both the Free ADWCLeaner and the Free MalwareBytes. Run a scan with both, then reboot and the ads should be gone, you can then uninstall both if you need.

If you are running a VPN, this can cause all the tap windows adapters V9, also if you are running an illegal KMS activator, this can also cause these . . .

Could really need help on this one *Smile

 

If you have Microsoft Office installed, it's caused by Office. Recently, someone else was having the same issue with the virtual driver but not quite as badly as you. See this thread

Ye i got office 2013 installed, will look at your link, thanks.

 

Are you utilizing a VPN service such as OpenVPN? This will install a TAP adapter.

 

This thread is actually a tiny bit old now, and i also just forgot to close it, it was the KMS Activator that i used wich installed all of these, it was for Office. Thread Closed.
