Hello folks!

 

Please refer to the enclosed pictorial description, & help suggest a way to make Win 10 remember a "Yes" setting on a forever basis.

 

Secondly, why do the Network No. keep depicting an incremental trend upon every single instance of using a Remote NDIS connection to connect my PC to Internet? Can't this be made stable on a permanent basis?

 

I often use my Smartphone Phone to tether the Data Carrier connection for the Internet access on my Laptop.

 

In nutshell, how to have a better control over a Remote NDIS connection & how to stabilize the Network Number for the same? 

 

Inputs will be sincerely appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Windows use network awareness service to determine what network its on, if its been on that network before, etc.. If your talking about tethering your phone via usb or bluetooth I have no exp in doing that and why it would change the network name/number if your connecting to the same phone all the time?

Hello,


This should only occur if you are connecting to a different network each time.  By different network, I mean with different DHCP servers, gateways, and or DNS servers. 

 

My guess is that your carrier has several different networks and you get connected to different one each time based on availability or location.

 

Short of switching carriers I cannot think of a way around this.

Hello goretsky!

 

I access the Data carrier network from my Home & have manually set the IP Address, Subnet mask & default gateway; & DNS addresses are those of Data carrier's network only!

 

Manual configuration has helped with an earliest identification of the connected Network , otherwise...."Identifying Network" used to languish against the respective Network icon for over a long period. 

 

Today it is showing up as "Network 10"!

 

I do not use any propriety software/application to connect my Phone with my Notebook but only via a plain,simple USB Connection.

 

I also couldn't find a way to terminate/disconnect the Remote NDIS connection from my Notebook either & have to do so via Phone interface only.

 

Inputs please? 

Hello,

 

Under Windows 10 you can do a search for "Network reset" which will restore the network stack to its default state, getting rid of all additional entries and settings.  You could try doing that, and then configuring the network connection to work the way you want it to.  As long as you do not many any changes or additions there should be no more prompts for connections.  Oh, since you mentioned you're using USB tethering, be sure to plug the smartphone into ths same USB port on the computer each time, just in case that makes any difference.

 

Regards,

    • Only option I want is to disable the system tray overflow menu and always show icons, W11 added option to hide the menu but then icons will still go there instead of the tray.
    • Windows 11 blocks Google Chrome due to a Microsoft safety feature, fix out by Sayan Sen Microsoft has a parental control and safety feature called "Microsoft Family Safety" which allows users to create safe spaces for their family members for browsing the web by setting up filters so as to block and filter inappropriate content and limit browsing to kid-friendly and family friendly content. However, as it turns out, following Chrome version updates 137.0.7151.68, 137.0.7151.69, Google's web browser is getting automatically blocked by Microsoft Family Safety as affected users have reported that the browser will automatically close or crash and then fail to reopen. Thus if you are using Edge, you get the green signal from the Family Safety app, but not if you are using Google Chrome. The issue seems to be affecting mainly Windows 11 devices but Windows 10 or macOS may be affected too. A thread on Microsoft's official Windows forum by Peter Priestley1, which is presumably from an educational institute, says: The thread has been upvoted by 122 people at the time of writing. There are plenty of other such threads online and users also say that they have tried all sorts of things like refreshing cookies and appdata but "nothing" seems to fix it. This shows that Microsoft's safety feature is certainly robust and that it is not easy to bypass but it also means affected users are not too happy about it considering it is seemingly blocking all versions of Chrome. There is one fix that worked though, renaming chrome.exe to something else like chrome1.exe for example. A Chrome community manager, Ellen T, has confirmed that the Microsoft feature is indeed what is causing it and the only way to fix the issue is to "unblock Chrome" inside the Family Safety app. Ellen says: Microsoft has also shared a similar guidance on the issue according to Fred SR., a senior member of the Chrome community.
