How to Enable or Disable Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter on Windows 11?

How to Enable or Disable Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter on Windows 11? Hello everyone, In this video, we will guide you on How to Enable or Disable Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter on Windows 11. In Windows 11, the Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter allows you to connect two devices using Wi-Fi Direct without routing through Wi-Fi routers or access points. One Wi-Fi is used to connect to a Wi-Fi network, while the other is designed to communicate directly with other devices (monitors, printers, scanners). With the Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter, you can turn your computer into a wireless hotspot and let other computers access the internet through it. Essentially, this technology virtualizes your wireless network adapter much as VMware or VirtualBox does. Once it’s virtualized, you can convert one physical wireless adapter into two virtual ones. With this configuration, you can use one virtual adapter to connect to your regular wireless network and the other to connect to another network, such as a WiFi hotspot. This will allow others to connect wirelessly to your Windows machine as if it were an access point. You can disable this feature if you don’t use it or experience problems connecting with external routers or modems. Here is how to do it. How to Disable or Enable Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter on Windows 11? To turn off or on Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter on Windows 11, first right-click on the Start button and select the Device Manager option. Then, click on the View tab in the menu and check the Show hidden devices option.
