Disable Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter Permanantly

Is there a simple and permanent way to disable the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter permanently.

I believe this device may be the source of some wifi problems my users have been having.

AFAIK, the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter is a virtual adaptor for sharing your internet connection (ie. making a wifi hotspot, or 'hosted network').

To disable this, open an elevated command prompt (cmd as admin) and type in the following commands, in order:

netsh wlan stop hostednetwork This stops the hosted network

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow This disables the hotspot.

This worked for me and removed the adaptor on my computer.
