Wan miniports????

Hi, Windows. I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

This is normal and you don't need to worry about it, the WAN Miniport is a software adapter used by the operating system to access the WAN. In most cases, the WAN Miniport is used to connect to the Internet via the point-to-point protocol over the Ethernet connection.

Unless you are having problems connecting to the internet, it is not recommended to disable or uninstall the WAN Miniports, doing this could make your computer unable to connect to the internet.

"WHERE I CAN FIND THE DRIVERS."

The WAN miniport drivers are integral to Windows. They should install/load automatically when called for by a software device that requires them.

In Device Manager click the "View" menu and select "Show hidden devices" and then look under Network adapters to see if disabled miniport drivers are shown.
