Windows 10: Why Is Windows Hosting a Network Called Direct-xxxxxxx

So, recently, my Windows 10 Pro Laptop starts randomly shutting off the WiFi. I go into "Network Adapters" and my computer cut my WiFi to host a network called Direct-iGE5msPN. It often changes names so that's why I put x's in the title. Do I have a virus? If not, what is it doing? Attached is a screenshot. I censored the WiFi/Ethernet network for privacy reasons. Also I have the Hyper-V Network Bridge thingee. This Direct-xxxxxxx network popped up even before Hyper-V

New software update for Nokia 130/130 Dual SIM: v. 10.02.11

In my phone , I have to save contacts in 3 different ways.

If I save a number like this - 077 XXXXXXX it is support only for sim 2 calls

If I save a number like this - 77 XXXXXXX it is support only for sim 1 calls (without "0")

If I save a number like this - +9477 XXXXXXX it is support only for sim 1 and sim 2 SMS ("+94"-country code)

So according to my point of view it is a problem of sofware. That is why I search for updates.

 

host process for windows services

why does host process for windows services constantly try to connect to different computers across my network even network storage devices. all pcs on network should be independent and not really communicate so to speak with each other, most have blocked
ms as much as they can specially through the hosts file. i can only assume ms tries to access different pcs on the network in order to try and call home. i would believe that my other pcs maybe trying to call on files or something, but removed that idea when
i made a bot using win7 with nothing on it...but a bot program, and i see that host process for windows services calls to it for no reason. why is ms so determined to track its users?

 

Are you using Miracast, casting from Windows 10 to a wireless display like a smart-TV or Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter? A Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter is used for that, highlighted in screenshot is my current one which allows me to use a Miracast supporting smart-TV as an additional display:





Although it is always shown as not having network access, it works perfectly. You should not manually remove / edit this adapter's settings.

 

Don't Have Mircast on, but yes there is a Roku in our house

 

It is because some Android devices put out “Direct” and then android qnd the part of the MAC ID for cast on it. My NVIDIA shield does it all of the time, so I really do not even worry about it.
