The "Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter" just showed up under "Network Adapters" in my Device Manager. Anybody know what this is? What is it for? And where does it come from?

    Hi PBylund,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community Forums.

    I would suggest you to make sure debugging is turned off and check the status of the issue.

    a) Run this from an elevated command prompt:

    bcdedit /debug off

    b) If it’s still showing up, then you can disable it from the device manager without problems.

    Hope this information helps.

    Hi! 

    I have the same problem. But when I did typed the command it says that 

    "An error occurred while attempting to modify the debugger settings. 

    The value is protected by Secure Boot policy and cannot be modified or deleted"

    how can I disable this?

    Thanks!

    NSA catalogs everything that crosses the internet. Your adapter settings have no effect on that.
