Hi Rainer,

The Virtual Wifi Miniport is used to have connection to more than one WLAN 
simultanously. It should only appear (together with a corresponding Virtual 
Wifi Adapter)  after it is enabled manually via netsh (netsh wlan set 
hostednetwork allow). To config multipe WLANs, you then need to add them with 
netsh wlan set hostednetwork allow ssid=… key=… keyUsage=persistent.

Regards,
Clemens Hoffmann

Dear all,

thank you all for your replies. My colleague has a network adapter which called 
“Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter”. I deactivated the adapter and 
everything works without any problems. For this reason this problem is solved 
for me.

This might be a little bit OT: I was very surprised about this “new” adapter 
and I searched for information about it in the internet. But I don’t found the 
information when the adapter will be installed by Microsoft automatically. Does 
anybody know when the adapter will be installed (maybe if the notebook was 
connected to several wifi networks)?

Kind regards

Rainer Budde

I had similar symptoms to the above, plus DNS resolution failures (when not 
connected), and disabling the above adapter fixed them 100%.

Note you cannot just delete the device – it is recreated every time you enable 
the physical wifi adapter.  But if you disable it, it remembers and says 
disabled.

You might give it a try.  I have no explanation to offer for it, just that it 
worked for me.

PS. In my case everything worked fine with it not disabled for weeks, then all 
of a sudden it quit working entirely and only started again when I disabled the 
adapter, despite reboots, de-and-re-install of the software, different 
versions, etc.
