Windows creates endless ethernet adapters?

[Itsbranden97]

Ever since I've installed windows 10 on my PC in july it's been doing this, and I've just dealt with it but now it's gotten ridiculous. It will go through each adapter and try to connect to each one, and when it does not connect it'll move to the next until they're all done. During this time I can't use the internet at all, it goes on for a solid 5 minutes on a good day and it took 20 one day so I assume that's the high.

here's an example of what I'm talking about on a good day.

and I couldn't get paint to crop so sorry for the massive picture, just focus on the left side in the change adapter settings folder.

Hi,

Have you tried deleting all of those created internet adapters?
- Go to Device Manager and uninstall the Network adapters of your PC.
- Once uninstalled, download and install the latest driver from the manufacturer site.
- Also, do run a virus/malware scan with your PC.
- You can download the tools you can use to scan you PC from another PC.
- Here's the link: http://www.tomsguide.com/faq/id-1691891/removing-malware-proven-completely-remove-bitcoin-mining-malware.html
- After the scan see if the same problem will persist or not.
- If all these will not work do a clean install of Windows 10.

Okay I'll do all that and let you know what happens.

Thanks!
