    Why is this phone in my network?


    The explanation of the question posted in link https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/network-device/42d8b137-dbae-48f0-8dd4-ba37415f85d8 makes no sense to me and doesn't say whether it's a safe device. I to have Mstar Semiconductor Inc in my network listing's but it's called 'Fullgrape'.Why is it there and how or should I get rid of it? I'm using Windows 11 and I can't see any way to delete or uninstall it.Can you please explain this??Cathy

    :)

    What is this network device?


    This is a weird problem I've been seeing in windows for years now (not just windows 10). I've been unable to figure out what it is, but we're not alone in this, I did some research a while back and a lot of other people were seeing it as well.

    Some suggest it's a bug in the network stack. Some suggest it's neighbors who are connecting somehow, but not able to use the network. Regardless, it's not an uncommon problem and doesn't seem to be anything worry about. Here's some examples:

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Mobile

    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.

    I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular Microsoft Apps

    You are both now added, welcome! *Toast :toast:
