    In ipconfig/all, I see WiFi Direct Virtual Adapters #6 and #7


    In Device Mgr, I see no Virtual Adapters, but a list of mini-ports... I am wondering if I am hacked, I have never used Virtual Adapters, don't understand them, have never seen reference to it on my computer. I got a notice from FB that my password was changed last night when I was not on my laptop, and IP address that is not mine...How do I know if I have a Virtual Adapter if it's not listed in the device manager, I'll attach what shows in my device manager. In ipconfig/all, I see WiFi Direct Virtual Adapters #6 and #7 9a930770-b626-4a1c-81d8-2f427553e510?upload=true.jpg

  3. 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".

    Microsoft Direct Virtual Wi-Fi Adapter

    How can I remove Microsoft Virtual Direct Wi Fi Adapter.

    I see under device manager I see Microsoft virtual direct wi fi adapter. If I remove it, delete it , it comes back. I can only disable it.

    This is what I know and I investigated to find out.

    **** This is a feature which is used to create hotspot make the pc/laptop as a hotspot for other computers to connect to or covertly connect to the computer. ( my issue on my laptop ).

    problem:

    when I do ipconfig/all it list a Microsoft Direct virtual Wi-Fi Adapter as active. even though I never activated this, I don't even know how to activate this.

    I am try to deactivate virtual adapter. I am not able to do .

    I tried using netsh wlan disallow.., it doesn't work. it the virtual adapter stays activated.

    I also tried network reset, no change.

    I formatted hard drive and reinstalled windows. no change.

    I used recovery media to wipe out hard drive and install the factory defaults. no effect.

    I have windows 10 home edition. ( this windows is not even compatible with hyper-v virtual features.

    I AM UNABLE TO REMOVE OR DE-ACTIVATE THIS VIRTUAL ADAPTER.

    I have contacted Lenovo, they couldn't help me.

    I called couple of support professional website they couldn't help they didn't know much about network/adapters.

    need help!!!
