microsoft hosted network virtual adapter windows 10

Go to Device Manager and choose view option. The consensus was to disable or uninstall the Virtual Adapter. So I googled this adapter and found others had the same problem. It finally dawned on me that maybe this has been my problem this whole time.

I had noticed the 'Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter before but it would disappear as soon as I disabled and then the enabled dance. Oh btw an easy solution always suggested is to update drivers. So I have been doing this dance for about a month now. A friend is loaning me his Wi-Fi dongle and it worked great. But sadly my joy ended when the #$%^&*( disconnected again. Viola after that it acted though it was going to really work this time. At this point I knew I would have to do the dreaded cold boot. Then it would stop but this time there was a yellow construction symbol. Then I got tired of rebooting every time it disconnected.so I started going to Device Mange, disabling the Ralink, then enabling it and it would work.for a while. When it first start happening I would just reboot the computer and it would work.for a while. In the system tray it shows the Wi-fi icon and it works for say 10 hours then it disconnects.

I have been dealing with this problem for a few months. Tonight I finally have confirmation that my Ralink RT5390 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter is not bad.
