Revision history [back]

I have gone into the registry, Windows 10, and removed all of the unused, old network adapters so there should only be 8 adapters showing in the system. That is the number which now shows in the Network GUI on this Win10 box. However, when I run Wireshark, and it discovers interfaces it finds 12 Adapters. When I do "show hidden devices" in Device Manager I see 10 Adapters - I know those extra 2 are for the VPN I use. I would like to know what file, or registry entry, or whatever Wireshark queries to get the list of interfaces it displays after it runs "finding local interfaces". I need to know what I am missing removing to resolve this discrepancy.
