I'm a college student and need internet access every day. Unfortunately my computer(Lenovo) constantly turns on a "virtual network" which I guess acts as a hotspot from my computer and the IT people don't like that. I've been banned from the school Wi-Fi multiple times. I have unistalled the drivers but it comes back. So everytime I turn on my computer I have to disable this network from my "network and sharing center" and hope the administrators haven't seen the network pop up. I've taken it to them and they don't know how to get rid of it either. Does anyone know what I'm referring to? How do I destroy it forever? I have windows 10 on a Lenovo G50 - 80
Microsoft Virtual Network gets me banned from my campus Wi-Fi. How do I permanently disable it?

Found a Microsoft web page that shows you how to remove this thing. (link below)
Give it a try and see if it helps.

I see something similar in my Win 7 system… But mine comes up 'Disabled'. Have you tried removing any auto-connect profiles it may have and disabling it?

I followed the command prompt to a T and it still came back when I turned on my Wi-Fi. I believe I've tried this before, do you have any other suggestions?
The screenshot didn't come out as expected but it says "Local Area Connection* 3" and then "Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual"

Why do you feel the need to go outside what the school will allow?
why do you not want to just use the network as it is presented to you?
why do " you " feel your school has to bow down to you and your internet needs?
