Windows 10: Windows 10 - virtual network drivers issues with 3rd parties virtual drivers

Hi,


I realized than when I installed nMap or Virtual box , starting up the computer the next day caused windows not to get a network config on my eth adapter


that, until I used the nw troubleshooter


so it appears that win 10 home edition is not capable of working correctly when installing virtual network drivers from 3rd parties


can someone patch this in the dev team ? can this be investigated seriously ? anyone had the same problem ?


to reproduce this, just install nmap or virtual box, next morning you should see the network adapter is not configured


just like if windows was trying to setup the wrong adapter on startup


thanks

:)

 

Microsoft Network Hosted Virtual Adapter Driver uninstalled

The other day I went to start up my VPN Virtual AP for my Chromecast and iPad to connect to via my Windows 10 Machine using the following commands (have done this several times before and it has worked fine):
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=NETWORKNAME key=PASSWORD
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
But to my nasty surprise, I was responded with:
The hosted network couldn’t be started.
The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.
Now I've looked everywhere online for a solution to my problem here. The underlying issue appears to be that my Microsoft Network Hosted Virtual Adapter Driver is missing in Device Manager (when showing hidden drivers). This appears to be a result of an update to my WLAN Adapter (Will list spec at end). Here are the following things I have tried:

1. Looked for Microsoft Network Hosted Virtual Adapter Driver in Device Manager as a Hidden device - Not there.
2. Disabled WLAN Adapter and Enabled to refresh drivers
3. Scanned for Hardware changed in DM
4. Tried rolling back WLAN Adapter to oldest version - 09/2015
5. Updated WLAN Adapter to latest version - 23/08/2016
6. Searched the Lenovo website for their default WLAN Adapter driver, downloaded and installed - but was the same one I had as my updated version
7. Looked for older editions of the adapter, but they either installed but didn't have the Network Hosted Virtual Adapter, or weren't compatible with my machine.
8. Restarted my machine after every change made to the network adapters
9. Uninstalled LAN Adapter and reinstalled.

What I've read is that some of the new WLAN Adapters have stopped including the Network Hosted Virtual Adapter in their installation package. Not sure how true this is but it would explain the sudden uninstallation of it.
I think that's pretty much everything. Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Machine Model: Lenovo 100-15IBD
WLAN Network Driver: Realtek PCI-E Wireless LAN Driver version 2023.37.0616.2016

Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter issue Windows 10.

Hi Annas,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

We understand that, you face issues with Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter on Windows 10 and I'd be certainly help you.



For a better clarity of your issue, please answer these queries below:

• Do you receive any error prompt or error code?
• Does your computer connected to a domain?
• What is the make and model of your computer?

The wireless Hosted Network is a new WLAN feature supported on Windows 10. This feature implements two major functions:

• The virtualization of a physical wireless adapter into more than one virtual wireless adapter sometimes referred to as Virtual Wi-Fi.

• A software-based wireless access point (AP) sometimes referred to as a SoftAP that uses a designated virtual wireless adapter.

The manufacturer that built your wireless driver needs to supply that driver software from the official website and install all the latest Windows 10 builds available on your system.
