  1. How to get the Microsoft wifi Direct Virtual network adapter


    Hello, I recently bought the HP Omnibook 7 AI. It has Windows 11 version 24H2 64. I am trying to use this laptop to connect to my Raspberry pi through the mobile hotspot, but it only works if the Microsoft Wifi Direct Virtual network seen in the "view network connections" part of the control panel is available through the Microsoft wifi direct virtual adapter, but I don't have that adapter in my device manager. I've tried everything like resetting my network settings, or trying to manually install it through device manager or scanning for hardware changes and also viewing the hidden devices.

    Miracast Problem with Microsoft wifi direct virtual adapter


    i m using win10 ver 1803. connectivity problem while using miracast. after doing lots of research i found the problem with Microsoft Wifi Direct Virtual Adapter.

    My System Mac address is ba:81:98:26:20:c8. My system is showing Two Wifi direct virtual adapter,1. Microsoft WiFi Direct virtual adapter - MAC Add - ba:81:98:26:20:c92. Microsoft WiFi Direct virtual adapter # 2 - MAC Add - ba:81:98:26:20:c8Whenever i try to connect with my smart tv, My tv shows " connecting with MAC address ba:81:98:26:20:c9" and stuck on this message.If my tv shows "connecting with MAC address ba:81:98:26:20:c8" then it will work perfectly.Now you will ask how i know? I know this when i installed win 10 ver 1603 and my system did not start updating i tried miracast with my tv and on that time it was working like charm and the message was showing on my screen was "connecting with MAC address ba:81:98:26:20:c8".
