I've seen boards with dual gigabit lan, but never one with 4 ports

You using a server board or something???

Ok joking aside, (AND Assuming you have an install media for what I'm about to suggest) Have you tried completely disconnecting the rig from your internet? (Then throwing the whole thing out of the window? another joke)
And uninstalling ALL Ethernet and wifi drivers, including delete drivers, and restarting your rig? And re installing?

Windows 10 keeps creating these additional Ethernet connections:

I keep uninstalling them from the Device Manager, but it start creating them again. What are these things & how do I get rid of them?

 

The TAP driver is VPN related I believe (Tunnel Adapter Protocol or something.)

Ok I've uninstalled & reinstalled. I'll see if that keeps them away.

I see. Though I don't use any VPN.

I presume your network drivers are confused.  According to http://www.driverscape.com/download/tap-win32-adapter-v9 it's clear that they're outdated (v9 released in 2010).

Latest ver of v9 is from November of 2014 (I have it installed.) - https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html

Virtual machines?  I know Virtualbox installs a bunch of virtual adapters but I don't remember which.  (As far as I know all VM software does, but anyway.)

I don't have any installed currently, although I did have virtualbox installed, but uninstalled it prior to upgrading to Windows 10.

That still might be it.  VBoxes networking was a pain and why I won't ever be using it again.

I can't say I remember the best way to get rid of it, sadly.

    • Surface Copilot+ PCs coming to classrooms from July 22, turbocharged with on-device AI by Paul Hill Microsoft has announced that it’s launching the new Surface Pro 12-inch and Surface Laptop 13-inch models specifically for education customers from July 22. The Redmond giant said that these devices are being launched as a direct response to feedback from educators who want practicality and ease of use in their diverse classrooms. These are both Copilot+ PCs so teachers and students will be able to leverage the latest AI features thanks to the dedicated Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that allow for on-device AI. The on-device AI, aside from delivering well-known features like Recall, will enable new education features such as a new app Microsoft is working on called Microsoft Learning Zone. Microsoft Learning Zone will allow teachers to create personalized lessons by adapting content from trusted sources like OpenStax, generating interactive games with Kahoot, and tracking students progress. Microsoft expects this to help teachers save time and deliver a more flexible and engaging classroom. Another AI feature that will be available is Click to Do. This lets students highlight text or images and get contextual help. It can be used to summarize a paragraph or explain a graph. To activate it, students can press the Windows key and click. This feature runs entirely on device so inputs to the AI are secure and you don’t need to ever worry about third-parties seeing. Finally, these devices will also have accessibility features such as Voice Access which lets you navigate with speech and Live Captions which provide real-time subtitles and translations for spoken content. These make the devices more inclusive for students with disabilities. Regarding security, these laptops come with the Microsoft Pluton security chip directly integrated into the processor for protecting sensitive data. It can protect data such as passwords and sign-ins, even if your device is stolen. Thanks to automatic Windows Updates, schools never need to worry about falling behind on updates either. With the impending demise of Windows 10 in mid-October, these Surface devices arrive just in time for schools looking for somewhere to upgrade to. Aside from AI features and security, Microsoft is also pushing other key features including easy repair with replacement components at the Microsoft Store and iFixit, their lightweight design and all-day battery life making them ideal for carrying and surviving the school day, and their compatibility with popular education apps such as TestNav, Google Classroom, Minecraft Education, and Adobe Express.
    • Taras Buria, do you think you could write more about Windows Vista? It is always such a pleasure — quite a pleasure — to see it mentioned in the title of a news article. What about an editorial?
