I am really stuck. I am trying to change the MAC address of my adapter, but it never saves.

I already tried using things like tmac and editing the registry.

Also when I go into Device Manager and click properties of the network adapter, the "Network address" option is missing.

Please help me change it because I tried everything. Thank you.

I am trying to change the following:

Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter

Microsoft Wi-Fi Direct Virtual Adapter #2

Sometimes custom MAC address must have certain prefix. Safest route is to try to reuse first 4--6 hexadecimal integers from original address, like AB:CD:EF:__:__:__.

This is likely caused by the address range assigned to manufacturer by IEEE. It seems that this web site may provide allowed ranges: If it will be down, you may try searching for MAC address of vendor.

  • Network Connections > Right-click Network Adapter > Properties - Configure
    • Advanced > Property: Network Address - Value:
      OR
      Advanced > Property: MAC Address - Value:
      • Property name depends on the adapter
