How do I permanantly remove this pos from my laptop? It's giving me errors, when I hit the wireless button (to enable/disable) on the laptop half the time it disables the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter, not my laptops wireless, I can't connect to APs properly with it running, takes 5 or 6 tries of disabling everything and reenabling. Didnt have a single issue until this was installed secretly on my machine. MS post proper solution to PERMANANTLY remove this useless device that just breaks everything.

Hi, The “microsoft virtual wifi miniport adapter” is related to a new feature in Windows 7, Wireless Hosted Network: About the Wireless Hosted Network This device is just a virtual device and it should not affect connecting the wireless network with the physical wireless adapter . However, if you would like to disable it, please use the command in above article. Thanks, Novak

I finally found out how to uninstall the microsoft wifi miniport adapter its so easy all you do is go to the command prompt as a admin and type this "netsh wlan stop hostednetwork" with no quotes. than type this "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow" also no quotes. at first i thought this was disabling it same as right clicking and disable but actually it disables the service and the microsoft wifi miniport is gone. for some reason its mode gets set to allow instated of disallow and when you uninstall it it reappears and messes up the networking, example, printers,wifi routers,etc. theres no way to uninstall it because it part of windows 7 for sharing wifi. IT WORKS TRY IT. its not a bug in windows 7. wow
