    Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter keeps turning off itself. Event ID 11004, 8008, 8003


    Hello,


    I'm using Miracast to connect my laptop Lenovo W540 to my Philips TV 43PUS6554/12 and use it as a second monitor.

    The thing is that I'm experiencing numerous connection interruption and after digging a lot of information I found out that Miracast events are logged to WLAN-AutoConfig in the Event viewer. So I checked them and saw:


    Event ID: 11004


    Wireless security stopped.


    Network Adapter: Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter #5

    Interface GUID: {72298b0b-5018-4929-9caa-a0aa3c4b4807}

    Local MAC Address: EA:2A:EA:76:CF:E1

    Network SSID: DIRECT-I1IVOHEAx

    BSS Type: Infrastructure

    Security Hint: The operation was successful.


    Event ID: 8008


    AutoConfig service has begun to stop the hosted network.

    Interface GUID: {72298b0b-5018-4929-9caa-a0aa3c4b4807}

    SSID: DIRECT-I1IVOHEAx


    Event ID: 8003


    WLAN AutoConfig service has successfully disconnected from a wireless network.


    Network Adapter: Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter #5
    Interface GUID: {72298b0b-5018-4929-9caa-a0aa3c4b4807}
    Connection Mode: Manual connection with a profile
    Profile Name: WFD_GROUP_OWNER_PROFILE
    SSID: DIRECT-I1IVOHEAx
    BSS Type: Infrastructure
    Reason: The network is disconnected by the user.

    I don't understand what's causing it. There is no error event, only information.


    My Wi-Fi card is IntelR Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260, Bluetooth is OFF. My connection at home is 2.4GHz so I changed a few things in the Wi-Fi Card settings:


    802.11a/b/g Wireless mode: from 6 to 4

  2. Wi-Fi virtual adapter

    I am unable to create a wi-fi hotspot on my laptop (HP pavillion ab-032tx model) after upgrading to windows 10. I cannot find Microsoft WI-Fi direct Virtual adapter in the listed adapters (control pannel->network sharing center) . However Microsoft Wi-Fi
    direct Virtual adapter and Microsoft Wi-Fi direct Virtual adapter #2 are listed in hidden drivers (device manager-> view tab, faded icons). Upon checking for hardware changes, there are no unkown devices being shown. Microsoft Wi-Fi direct Virtual adapter
    #3 is also found in the view tab , but its icon is not faded. All my drivers are updated. Still i am unable to create a hotspot. Pl help me with the same.

    Hi Stephan,



    Thank you for your interest in windows 10.

    We understand that, you face issues with Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter on Windows 10 and I'd certainly help you, to resolve the issue.

    Wi-Fi network adapters that support Wi-Fi Direct (WFD) must be configured to allow the power state to be turned off by Windows. If the power state cannot be changed by Windows, the "Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter"
    will not be bound to the physical interface after resume and will be removed by a timeout.

    Please refer to the Microsoft article link below, to fix your issue and check, if it works.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2863207

    Note: Applies to Windows 10.

    Please feel free to contact us, if you face any issues with Windows.



    Thank you.

    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!!!
