    Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter Missing


    Hello,

    I've been trying to get my virtual WiFi hotspot working since I upgraded to Windows 10 and it does not seem to be working. In Device Manager instead of finding an instance of Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter I have Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter installed and this is only present in Network Connections when the hosted network is started and it disappears when it is stopped, unlike the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter which was persistently in Network Connections. Also, my devices can connect to the hotspot I create but the network itself is limited and they have no internet access even though I have enabled sharing on my Ethernet connection. When trying to troubleshoot the limited connection I get the error message '"Wi-Fi does not have a valid IP configuration".

    Does anyone have any advice on how to get the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter back? I've tried reinstalling both my Ethernet and WiFi drivers in Device manager but it always installs Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter instead. Or am I in the wrong ballpark and it is nothing to do with this new driver. Any help would be appreciated!

    :)

    I read it as the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter might be used by Hackers to access machines and all that might involve? As a result the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter has been withdrawn for good. That is just my interpretation, so I
    could be wrong.

    Did the workaround I posted offer any solution for you?
