Removing Old Network Adapter Settings From Windows
Posted April 12, 2024

I recently upgraded one of my Windows 10 machines to Windows 11. In the process, I discovered that Intel is no longer supporting Intel PROSet beyond Windows 10.
Unfortunately, I used PROSet to configure VLANs to access my lab environment. When I upgraded, the interfaces became unsupported yet still configured.
Let’s clean this up.
Removing via registry
Windows saves the IP settings in the registry.
Look for your broken interface under:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
You should see the IP address under the key IPAddress.
Delete the network settings and restart your computer.
Enjoy!
