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.
if your being denied it s likely cause you not signed as an administrator, or you didnt open cmd with admin privledges
This solution does not work.
Disabling it cause the machine to disconnect from the network.
Hi. I get Microsoft to fix major problems. I think its called Assure Service. They can auto connect. The service is great. You may be able to find it under support, services or ask Microsoft.
I get;
an error occured while attempting to modify the debugger settings. The error is protected by a secure boot policy and cannot be modified or deleted.
