Windows 10: Network bridge on Windows 10

Hello!In the past few days I tried several times with several methods to bridge two connections on my Dell Optiplex 380,between a Huawei e3372 USB 4G dongle and ethernet.It does not work.I have tried Internet connection sharing too,but ended up with loss of connectivity on both devices.I tried this on a Windows 10 Pro 22H2.Any solution or conclusion is appreciated!Thank you in advance!

Network bridge suddenly stopped working in windows 10

Hi Shantanu,

To isolate your concern, we would like to know how your network bridge is connected? Is it a wireless connection or a wired connection?

In the meantime, we suggest that you set up your network bridge to refresh the adapter and reconnect the other devices. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Add Incoming Connections from the Internet.
• Bridge the two network connections that you want to use.
• Forget the internal network connection (under
  Manage Known Networks).
• Reconnect to your bridge network.
• Restart your computer and check if your concern persists.
  

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Remove network Bridge in windows 10 safely

i have searched the net to no avail on how to remove a network bridge in windows 10.

from my understanding, you are able to remove the network bridge by right clicking on the network bridge in network connections and choosing "remove network bridge" however in windows 10 this option doesn't exist.

on the network card (which is part of the bridge) in its properties page has written "This adapter is part of a Network Bridge. To remove this adapter from the Network Bridge, or to modify bridge settings, right-click the Network Bridge, and then click properties."

of course this does bring up the properties window but no further info on how to actually remove it.

others have mentioned to remove the "MAC bridge adapter" (which i dont have, mine says multiplexor on the bridge driver) from device manager however they have found other issues doing so if the network was in use at the time.

so before i go breaking things, is there a correct way to remove the network bridge in windows 10 pro?
