Windows 10: Unable to change network authentication method

Hello,

I have a problem where I'm unable to change authentication method and therefore can't connect to the internet through ethernet adapter.


Basically, I want to change my authentication method to SecureW2 TTLS because other methods don't work with my ISP. Screenshot showing the problem:





After clicking OK, I get this error (The changes to Authentication settings could not be saved). I also get the same error if I for example try to uncheck "Enable IEEE 201.1x authentication" or if I try to change anything under Authentication tab.


Reinstalling Windows solved my problem a week ago, but now this error is back and I don't want to reinstall Windows again.


Things I've tried:

Reinstalling adapter

Updating adapter drivers

Restarting TCP/IP via netsh

Reinstalling SecureW2 (I have installation program for this authentication method)

Troubleshooting network

Restarting network

Probably couple more things I already forgot


Any solutions?

:)

Windows 7 virtual wifi authentication mode

Hello.

Just a quick question to whoever is using windows 7 virtual wifi capability - when you type in "netsh wlan show hostednetwork", cmd window displays a list of settings for your hosted virtual wifi.

I was wondering, is there a way to change authentication method from WPA2-Personal to simple WEP ?

Cheers.
