How can I alter my Surface Pro's WiFi adapter to remove its support for the Hosted Network feature in Windows? I don't want to disable the hosted network feature for ALL adapters, just for one. I want to do this so that it will use a different adapter for the hosted network.
I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 3. They messed up, and the built in WiFi adapter does not work properly. It cannot start a hosted network. I have an external adapter I can use for this purpose. It works great, except you cannot tell Windows which adapter to bind the virtual miniport adapter to. Because support for that feature is a requirement for new drivers, the crappy built in adapter claims to support it (but doesn't really). This means every time I want to start the hosted network feature I have to disable the built in adapter in the device manager, enable the hosted network, then re-enable the built in adapter. I still use the built in adapter, and sometimes use both at the same time. So I'm hoping there is some way I can turn off the support in that driver so it will be ignored by the hosted network feature without having to be fully disabled.
