• 450 HP: HP 450 Gen 2 Ethernet Driver missing / replaced by ISATAP Adapter After Windows Update

  Good afternoon

  I'm a network administrator at a small not-for-profit organization and aired on a particular issue with our 450 HP Gen 2.  Using Windows Deployment Toolkit, I have an image clean Windows 7 with the applications we want to push on these machines and then followed with update driver using the HP software Assistant.  In general, everything works.  But every so often, a 450 HP decides to 'lose' it's network, which is replaced by up to three non-working ISATAP adapt - hidden driver.  With hidden devices turned off, the Device Manager shows three network wireless, but not ethernet connections.  In addition, the NIC itself is completely dark; no nice little green/yellow lights sparkle.

  This was happening before with an image earlier established by my predecessor, and I discovered that this image was intended to HP 450 Gen1 and Gen2 not - even if the image has been labeled Gen2. Thought it was just a simple matter that the Gen1 image was not compatible with the Gen2 machines.  They would work for a little while, then break after a series of Windows updates.

  So I created my own image, repeat the steps above and for a while thought that the problem has been resolved.  But I just fell on my first 'disappeared' ethernet driver scenario; Since users employing 450 HP are usually off site, they need of working machinery.  But I have not found anything in the forums or through google search to indicate exactly what causes the problem.

  Currently, I use the HP of a DVD Software Wizard because the laptop has no ethernet connectivity to see if that solves it, but I'm interested to know what is causing this problem so I can avoid it in the future.  It's not good if users are bringing back machines to me who... was enough to say... do not work.

  I look forward to your correspondence.

  Best regards

  Alrighty, I thought about it.  Essentially, (is no longer editable in the bios) LAN energy saving mode disables the NETWORK adapter, and once off, it will idle rest.  Therefore, your PC will not know to turn it on no matter how many times you restart or connect an ethernet.

  Here's the trick:

  1 unplug the power to your laptop, remove the battery, wait about 1-2 minutes.

  2. connect ethernet port NIC, connect the a/c, insert the battery.  Starts.  You should see your NETWORK card light up.

  3. once in Windows, go to the Device Manager.  You will see that your Realtek NIC listed.  Go into properties, power options and uncheck the option that reads LAN for energy savings.

  Problem solved.  I hope this helps the next guy.

• Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter missing (hostednetwork starts but cannot connect devices)

  I upgraded my Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro and everything worked fine, I was able to host a wifi network using the command "netsh wlan. I have a htc x, it successfully connected to the wireless network on my laptop via the netsh tha.

  But earlier, I have no idea of what happened but no device (for example, my cellphone) is able to connect to the wifi/hostednetwork hosted on my laptop. He sees the connection, but still hung on authentication / "obtain an ip address" phase and sometimes loops around that. While this same cell phone is able to connect to wifi hosted on the laptop from my friend, via the same netsh command, also it connects fine to routers wireless etc.

  I noticed that in my network connections section, "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" has disappeared. I tried to run the command

  "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = command not allow."

  and then

  "command netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow."

  but nothing is done, the virtual wifi adapter doesn't seem to be back. I've updated my drivers for wireless card that is "Intel Centrino Wireless - N 1030 BGN". But still no change, map of miniport does not return. Then I ran the cmd command "sfc/scannow", in the hope that maybe some file is corrupted and he could get fixed, but even after checking and restarting, it was still no effect on wifi.

  So, basically, that is what is happening, I run the command

  "netsh wlan set hostednetwork ssid = keyUsage htc = key command persist = mode abcdefgh = enable".

  and it will

  "Hosted network mode has been set to allow.
  The SSID of the network hosted has been changed successfully.
  The user key hosted network password has been changed successfully. »

  Then I run

  "netsh wlan start hostednetwork.

  and it will

  "The hosted network began.

  But in my network connections section, "Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter" does not appear, instead when the connection is started, "Microsoft hosted virtual network adapter" appears and disappears when the hostednetwork is stopped. But nevertheless, no device is able to connect to this hostednetwork, stuck on authentication / phase "obtain an ip address", as a DHCP server is missing or something.

  Kindly, help me out I searched on internet a solution for almost 2 days now, but nothing helped.

• Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter missing

  L.S.

  I would like to create a hotspot on my Windows computer. Windows supports this and he needs the Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport card for this. The question is this:

  I don't see Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter in my device management.

  I tried the things:

  (1) checking the section "hidden devices" in device management. He isn't here.

  (2) update the my wireless (Netgear A6210) network card drivers to the latest version.

  (3) update the drivers of my network card wireless (Netgear A6210) to the first version available.

  (4) reinstall the drivers of steps 2 and 3.

  (4) the execution of a number of commands that search on Google, I found:

  "command netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow."

  "netsh wlan start hostednetwork" (which made me an error - sorry for the Dutch: Het gehoste kan niet worden gestart netwerk.)
  Of bron has right status aangevraagde bewerking ITU om niet groep you voeren.)

  "command netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid = NameOfNetwork key = StrongPassword".

  "command netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid = NameOfNetwork key = StrongPassword".

  (5) install the drivers of VirtualWifi, which landed me an error:

  C:\microsoftmeshwifivirtual\VirtualWiFi\binaries>VirtualWiFi.exe install

  VirtualWiFi driver installation...
  Cannot complete the action.
  Error 800f0203

  I am solutions now and I need help for other steps I could take.

  Thanks in advance!

  Wifi miniport exists only after you have successfully put in place a network hosted - it is a virtual device.

  If you can, it would be interesting to restore an image system before all your attempts - just to make sure there is no debris around to stop you from your repeated procedure.

  The following documents have been cut & pasted directly from the windows command prompt, I used successfully implemented and use this utility [in Windows 7 and Windows 10].  I mention this because when I wanted to find out more about the fact that I discovered a lot of rubbish, written by people who had either never tried & have been incorrectly copy of notes from someone else or they were just of their inaccurate memories.

  1 you must first verify that your WiFi card is capable of this job.  Enter elevated command window

  netsh wlan show pilot

  and check that the entry

  Hosted network supported: Yes

  appears in the results.

  2 WiFi must be enabled until you issue the following command [it didn't need to be connected to anything]

  netsh wlan start hostednetwork

  and then you should get the answer

  The hosted network began.

  [If you do not have WiFi you this answer - the hosted network could not be started.]  [A device attached to the system is not functioning.]

  3 Once you are happy that you have found the right answer, then stop the network

  netsh wlan hostednetwork stop

  4 then start it for real with a SSID & password

  netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid = TestNet key = password

  and you get the answer

  The hosted network mode has been defined to allow.
  The SSID of the network hosted has been changed successfully.
  The user key hosted network password has been changed successfully.

  5 you can restart [you will have to do at each reboot of the system - there is no need to keep entering the SSID and password the system will just continue to use those you put in during step 4 above].

  netsh wlan start hostednetwork

  6 you can also get some info on how it works with

  netsh wlan show hostednetwork

  I just checked these settings to see what security was that I couldn't connect to my WinXP [but not connected as well a computer Win10 & hotspot a phone]

  7 these are the guides who helped me with my experience in the implementation of Windows 7 to a hosted network.  They go beyond my notes do, they understand the configuration of ICS.

• Microsoft virtual WiFI miniport adapter has adriver problem

  does anyone know how to fix Microsoft virtual WiFI miniport adapter has adriver problem

  Hello

  Control Panel - Device Manager:

  You can double-click it - tab drivers - DISABLE (that is if you do not use this feature).

  You may not have that unless you try to connect to other WiFi devices via your computer and
  many WiFi devices and their drivers do not correctly support the virtual pilot.

  Check with the manufacturer of system and/or support updated real manufacturer Sites and WiFi device drivers.
  (Which is also updating the driver virtual.) If no new drivers WiFi are available then re - install the present
  one.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
  below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
  found)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

  You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

  After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.
  (Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

  Repeat for network card (NIC) and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as
  Windows 7 like the updated drivers.

  ==================================================================

  More information on what WiFi devices a virtual: (as noted above, if the device or the driver is not
  support the virtual device or is not required then it can be disabled).

  The WiFi device and the driver is installed must support a Virtual WiFi configuration. Check with the system
  Manufacturer support, their documentation online and drivers and ask in their forums (if any) known
  questions. If the wireless device is supported for OEM sound drivers, visit their site for updated drivers and
  known issues (Intel, Realtek, LinkSys and others).

• TWO connections Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter?

  Hello!

  Recently bought a LG TV and try to mirror the screen by WiDi, but after a week of cracking my head over this, it does not work.

  In troubleshooting I stumbled upon the fact that I have TWO connections Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport adapt, even if I uninstall a via Device Manager, itll reinstall once the computer is restarted. All say 'Not connected' as well, and I feel that the reasons for which I can't do the link of WiDi with the TV resides in the above.

  Should I have two connections, and if not how can I solve this problem? And secondly why they both say not connected?

  Your help is greatly appreciated because there is too little information about this online specifically to try to get that it connects to a TV and it's so frustrating!

  Thank you!

  Go to the Intel site and install the latest version of the WiDi software and drivers.  Are you sure that the TV is capable of WiDi?  Or what adapter are you using?  I know not how this technology has improved over the past 2 years or so but if you want to watch movies with this you can be disappointed, when I ran across an adapter Push2TV a few years back I found the video choppy, perfect for office presentations but not very good for movies from my laptop to the TV streaming I abandoned the idea and am instead of using a device with built in NET applications.

• How to contact Microsoft to ask whether there is an updated driver for "Microsoft Virtual WiFi MiniPort adapter"

  When I checked the driver on this issue, I found this is version 6.1.7600.16385, dated 21/06/2006.After do a search, he started to download a replacement driver, but as it was not signed I cancelled the download. Then advised to contact Microsoft, which gave the pilot current, to see if there is a subsequent update. My system is Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1, 64-bit on a Toshiba laptop.

  I do not pretend that you are worrying.  This is just the beginning post of this thread 'read' other posts from other users who have problems caused by those "fake" like most people 'all in one' driver updating software.  These never really find good "signed" drivers because there are "hundreds" of sites that can "host" similar named driver packages.  These packages can be 'false' or completely "valid" but usually "never verified."   Microsoft "allows us" to use their software and they officially publish the signed drivers on the Windows Update site.

  As a general rule, always get the driver on the web site of the official "publishers' support.  Anywhere else, 'we' need to be 'worried' about 'integrity' of the person who posted the package update driver.

  Microsoft Virtual WiFi MiniPort Adapter is a driver that Microsoft seems to use so 'of interface' with wireless network adapters.  It allow windows 'WLan' system to manage wireless network connections.

  If you had installed drivers of the network up to date maps, remove this update. It worked for me.

  Check the steps to remove the software update:

  ·        Go to the Control Panel and open Windows Update.

  ·        On the left side, at the bottom of the window, click the installed updates link.

  ·        In the next window, scroll down and select the update of the NIC has installed recently.

  ·        At the top of the window, click the Uninstall button.
