Windows 10: Win10 enterprise repeatedly disabling network adapters on its own

Let me start by saying this is not a simple issue.

I have a standard win10 ent installation on an HP ML350 G10 workstation.

Randomly, Win10 is simply disabling all network adapters and then re-enabling them.

Ive done a windows defender scan. I've run Norton and Malwarebytes. I've replaced the CPU, all RAM, and the motherboard twice.

The wifi adapter I am using works fine in other machines. It happens regardless of whether or not I am using ethernet, wifi, USB, RNDIS, or a PCIe card for any of these.

I even tried a few laptop wireless cards with a Siilverstone mPCIe adapter.

I know there is a Windows service doing this as there is a spike in a svchost CPU usage right before the wifi adapter is disabled.

I've used procexp to try to pin down which service it is but it happens very quickly and is difficult to say which.

Is anyone else having this problem?

hide specific Network connection adapter from Network list

Hi Mr @Brink ,

Is there a way to hide specific "Network connection adapter" from the "Network" list in system tray (network icon list)?
I have 3 network adapters, Ethernet,WiFi and Microsoft KM-Test Loopback adapter (name as KeyShot). Whenever I disable Ethernet and WiFi adapter, KeyShot adapter appears as an Unidentified network (SS below). I know I can hide it by disable the adapter, but I don't want to disable it because Keyshot app needs that network adapter to work on Win OS.







I want the network list be shown as SS below (I want to hide just KeyShot adapter from the list):




OS: Win 10 Enterprise x64, v2004 (B19041.423)
