Removing Old Network Adapter Settings From Windows

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!
