Hello,


I have a Windows 10 Pro (2004) freshly installed and these adapters keep spawning in the Device Manager. I don't even know what they are for. I deleted them ("Uninstall the device" function), but they re-appeared after a restart. I tried disabling the VMMS via the Hyper-V manager console, but it didn't stop them from appearing. I have also noticed that right after a restart and log-on my WiFi connection, while enabled, has no Internet access and I have to disconnect it and reconnect. Is there a link between two problems?


I'll appreciate if you answer several questions.


1. What are they?

2. Why are they needed for?

3. Is the behaviour a sign of some malicious activity?

4. Can they mess-up my Internet connection somehow?

5. How do I get rid of them completely and do I need to in the first place?


I don't use any virtual machines except for the Windows Sandbox.


Regards,

Al
