Question Hyper-V disabled, but several network adapters automatically show

[J.Do]

I created a Hyper-V VM on my laptop that I never fully made it work and that I removed. I later disabled Hyper-V. However, I still get several network adapters automatically re-creating themselves and interfering with my actual network connection. So, I continuously have to go to Network Connections, disable each one of them, there may be 3 or 4 at a time, disable/enable my real network connection so I can connect to the Internet. Then, I go to Device Manager's Network Adapters and uninstall each of the Hyper-V adapters in there. So far so good, except that the next day or so they re-create themselves. I have searched the Internet and this forum to no avail and I am at a loss.

Any help is appreciated.

Uninstall the software/driver you installed for the VM, like vitual VM or vmware or similar software

e.g. WAN ##### ports are normal and shouldn´t impact the internet connection.

I didn't install any software/driver. I was using Hyper-V and I disabled it already. Don't know what else to do.

 

[helpstar]

if you deactivated it in windows features already., did you restart windows afterwards?

 

[J.Do]

Yes, of course.

 

[helpstar]

did you edit the bcd entry of hypervisorlaunchtype to auto? disable this too

is there a restore point from before you enabled hyper-v?

another way would be resetting windows

 

[J.Do]

I just changed the bcd entry from auto to off and restarted windows. Looks like this time it worked and the multiple Hyper-V network adapters didn't show up. I'll keep an eye on it and if I don't post back it means that this problem has been taken care off.
I really appreciate your help.
