Windows 10 Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter keeps turning off itself. Event ID 11004, 8008, 8003

[I.St.]

Hello,


I'm using Miracast to connect my laptop Lenovo W540 to my Philips TV 43PUS6554/12 and I use it as a second monitor.

The thing is that I'm experiencing numerous connection interruptions and after digging a lot of information I found out that Miracast events are logged to WLAN-AutoConfig in the Event viewer. So I checked them and saw:

Event ID: 11004​

Wireless security stopped.​

Network Adapter: Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter #5​

Interface GUID: {72298b0b-5018-4929-9caa-a0aa3c4b4807}​

Local MAC Address: EA:2A:EA:76:CF:E1​

Network SSID: DIRECT-I1IVOHEAx​

BSS Type: Infrastructure​

Security Hint: The operation was successful.​

Event ID: 8008​

AutoConfig service has begun to stop the hosted network.

Interface GUID: {72298b0b-5018-4929-9caa-a0aa3c4b4807}​

Event ID: 8003​

WLAN AutoConfig service has successfully disconnected from a wireless network.​

Network Adapter: Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter #5

Connection Mode: Manual connection with a profile
Profile Name: WFD_GROUP_OWNER_PROFILE

Reason: The network is disconnected by the user.​

I don't understand what's causing it. There is no error event, only information.


My Wi-Fi card is Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260, Bluetooth is OFF. My connection at home is 2.4GHz so I changed a few things in the Wi-Fi Card settings:


802.11a/b/g Wireless mode: from 6 to 4





Roaming Aggressiveness: from 3 to 1





Preferred Band: from 1 to 2




I reinstalled the Wi-Fi drivers today(downloaded from Lenovo's website), but the problem persists.
