    Windows 10 laptop WIFI Mac address keeps changing. How to disable it?

    I have the same issue. I can confirm that "Use random hardware addresses" is set to Off, from the Wi-Fi option in "Network & Internet" options.

    It's not phone dependent. But it does depend on your WiFi card supporting the feature. What card are you using?

    Intel 8265:

    Edit: Just checked that my Broadcom 4352 card does not support this.

    Apparently none of mine do either. Qualcom Atheros AR9285 & AR9002WB-1NG

    Maybe it's an Intel thing then. I haven't been able to find much documentation on this feature.

    Almost all network adapter drivers (wired and wireless) have the capability of overriding the hardware MAC address. Linux already has a similar MAC address randomizer capability that isn't card-specific. So I don't know what Windows is doing differently with this feature.

    Maybe it was left out of the driver, so it's no available to Windows?
