Anybody know why the command: C:\Windows\System32\wbem\WMIC.exe path win32_networkadapter where PhysicalAdapter=True call disable no longer works in Window3s 11? I had used it in Windows 10 to prevent MS from surreptitiously updating the OS or sending telemetry info back to Redmond during bootup or shutdown, before my firewall started. But now that commend leaves some NICs disabled and some still operating.
I recommend PowerShell. Code: powershell -c "Get-NetAdapter | Disable-NetAdapter -Confirm:$false" That code snippet works in a batch script (.bat or .cmd). Best of luck. Of course, to enable them again do this command. Code: powershell -c "Get-NetAdapter | Enable-NetAdapter -Confirm:$false"
Thanks. I'll give it a shot. Didn't know Powershell worked in batch files. Hopefully it also works in an autoIt script. That's what I was using to have user feed back.
why dont you just disable it at the HW level? is the only way to be sure MS dont sneak anything throw
@MS_User, you mean in the BIOS or Windows Device Manager? That's too cumbersome unless there's a way to script it. But thanks for the suggestion.
