I was fiddling in Device Manager when I noticed that I have far too many network adapters showing up in Device Manager. I double checked and confirmed in Networking and Sharing Centre under Network Adapters. The attached picture Cleary shows my predicament.
I can account for 3 adapters: (1) Physical adapter on my motherboard, (2) PCI-e Wireless Adapter and (3) a virtual adapter for Hamachi. A lot more is showing up in the list of adapters, and ever so often when I switch my pc on, I find even more adapter showing up. Is a Windows related bug causing the problem since the adapters are called TAP windows adapter? That is just an assumption, I can be completely off.
Hardware Info:
-MSI H97 Gaming 3
-Intel Core i5 4670 @ 3.4GHz
-Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9270X 2GB 256 bit
-8GB Corsair 1600MHz RAM
