    Ethernet Connections Competing for Authentication


    Nope, there is only one connection listed and that's the one the school provides. I have found no one else with the same problem unfortunately, and I might have to contact M$oft as a last resort. I hope someone here might know what's wrong.

    I edited my last message, so you probably didn't catch the part about "show hidden devices in device manager". So, any hidden devices?

    I will check again later, but the last time I checked there were no hidden network devices.
    Edit: Nope, just my ethernet and a wireless TP-Link adapter I don't use because I have ethernet.

    Ethernet Connections Competing for Authentication

    May have tracked it down for you. According to this link

    Multiple TAP-Win32 Adapter OAS. : techsupport

    It's caused by Office. Are you on some kind of volume license for Office 2013 (as part of college perhaps)? It's Office that uses the virtual drivers to manage the volume licenses. Hopefully, it's the cause for your grief.
