Hi, I need to disable the Ethernet device ion win8.1 so that it always only uses WiFi. I can't just unplug the RJ45 as it is a dual boot PC and the other OS needs the Network.
I tried using the Network Center to set the Ethernet as Disabled. On reboot win8.1 enabled it again itself.
I then tried going to the Device Manager and un-installing the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet. Reboot and it again installed and connected.
If it comes to it, I am also OK with disabling PNP for all devices on the win8.1 system.
How can I disable PNP for a specific device or all devices?
