Agree, even worse is that there’s more than on way to skin that cat and far too 
many examples on the interwebs that show people how to get into trouble.

Because they haven’t cooked out the ability and the internet is forever we’ll 
be having the same conversation repeatedly. We already have had it here how 
many times?

It is NOT SUPPORTED to disable IPv6 in modern Microsoft OSes.

I personally consider it a bug that Microsoft still allows it to be disabled. 
But I lost that bug-battle.

  Microsoft and their code want IPv6, only support environments with it 
enabled, and will use it when it is enabled.

  If you disable it in your production environment, things may (and likely 
will) break in weird ways.  Microsoft isn't known for handling corner cases 
well.

  If you disable it only in your test environment, you're making your test 
environment significantly different from your production environment.  Why 
bother testing if you're not testing what you're actually going to do?
