Description

When reconnecting to the Zero Tier One network, windows creates additional adapter names instead of using the previous one. So with every reconnect, Zero Tier One's network adapter increments 1, such as Network 2, Network 3, Network 4... etc.

Only solution so far is to go into the registry and deleting the profiles created by Zero Tier to reset the number.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are mentioned. Start by locating the Windows network-adapter and profile handling, then determine how ports or interfaces can be disabled without deleting their profiles; done means reconnecting no longer creates an ever-increasing sequence of adapter names.
