Prefer ipv4 over ipv6

hi,

I want to set ipv4 to be preferred over ipv6, the other day i've used the tips from this Ping returns IPv6 Address, ping IPv4 in Command Prompt - TheITBros on my 2 windows10 computers and everything worked out great!

Now, i just did a win10 update and i noticed that that no longer works even by doing the very same "command" and it kinda gets ignored. Did they just remove the functionality?

This is what i get from netsh interface ipv6 show prefixpolicies (i don't get the longer list anymore but just these):





So it seems to be preferring ipv4, yet when i ping my site (available on both ipv4 and ipv6), i get output with ipv6, same as google.com - the other day it was working nicely to ipv4 and i only used these 2 commands they suggested:

netsh interface ipv6 set prefix ::/96 60 3

netsh interface ipv6 set prefix ::ffff:0:0/96 55 4

what's going on? I don't want to disable it completely (i know i can disable it from the router or from the network card properties, i just want to de-prioritise it)

[Version 10.0.19044.1387]

thank you,
Gabrio

might have answered myself, i've added

netsh interface ipv6 add prefixpolicy ::/0 40 1

and it did the trick... i wonder if it will stick now

 

Connectivity (IPv4/IPv6): Disconnected

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Ideally this Connectivity (IPv4/IPv6): Disconnected, means that the devices in not in use or not connected and it could be any device for example, Ethernet, WIFI, Bluetooth or Local Area Connection.



If you are using WI-FI for internet connection then Ethernet will show Connectivity (IPv4/IPv6): Disconnected.



In order to understand the issue and assist you accordingly, we need some information

• What is your network setup?
  
• Are you seeing any errors?
  
• Where you are seeing this information?

Meanwhile, try the troubleshooting steps referred in this article:

IPv4 and ipv6 don’t work

My internet isn’t working properly. Ipv4 doesn’t work and ipv6 does. Then once I reset ipv4 in command prompt I reset my computer and then ipv6 doesn’t work and ipv4 does. I do the same thing to ipv6 and the same thing happens to ipv4. I have done lots of
things such as resetting my gateway, resetting my router, using different ethernet cables, and using lots of things in cmd to reset the connection. Here is my results from resetting ipv4 and these are the same results when I try to reset ipv6.
