Device Manager shows one hidden device that cannot be disabled - RAS ASYNC Adapter. It cannot be uninstalled either. Even stranger is that it appears and disappears before my eyes, and I am doing nothing to cause this. I do not want any rasman services running so I'd like to figure what, why and how this is going on. Thanks

RAS ASYNC Adapter installs with windows. The stubborn reapearance you experienced is DEP.
