Windows 10: Wrong DisplayName on protocols components, for ALL network adapters

Hi, In all my network adapters, the protocol components appear with wrong DisplayName For instance I get : %systemroot%\system32\drivers\tcpip.sys instead of "Internet Protocol Version 4 TCP/IPv4 The issue is similar to this error-on-tcpip-properties but that fix doesn't apply, because in my case the DisplayName are wrong on all my network adapters. I'm running a desktop with Windows 10 Pro x64 version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 Here are the steps that I already performed : Running Full Antivirus Scan with Norton Run malware scans with MalwareBytes and RogueKiller Restore to a point previous

what does the microsoft network adapter multiplexor protocol do?

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

• Do let us know, what is the exact issue you are facing with Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Protocol?

The Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Protocol service is a kernel mode driver.
The protocol is installed by default as part of the physical network adapter initialization for the first time.

The Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor protocol is checked in the teamed network adapter and unchecked in the physical network adapters that are part of the NIC Teaming. For example, if there are two physical network adapters
in a team, the Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor protocol will be disabled for these two physical network adapters and checked in the teamed adapter.

Hope it helps. Feel free to contact us for any further assistance on Windows Operating System. We are happy to help you.

 

Error: One or more network protocols are missing on this computer

Hi Suhail,

We suggest you uninstall and reinstall the network adapter to fix this issue. Kindly follow the troubleshooting steps below:

• Click Windows key + R.
• Type devmgmt.msc, and hit Enter.
• Navigate to Network adapters, and find your network adapter.
• Right-click your network driver, and click Uninstall.

Alternatively, you can reset the TCP/IP protocol by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R.
• Type netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt, and hit Enter.
• Note: When you run this command, it'll rewrite your computer's registry keys used for TCP/IP settings. This achieves the same result as removing and reinstalling the protocol.
• Reboot your PC.

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you.

Perfect answer. Thank you. I searched for an hour trying to find out why MNAMP would not remain checked or what it was for.

Now I know.

Kudos to you.
