• Loopback Adapter Windows

Occasionly, in case when we have several network adapters, Windows 7 can decide will not use Loopback adapter as primary Network interface. This is because Windows 7 relies on metrics of particular network adapter whose value by default is autogenerated according to connection speed and other parameters.

I have found this question for Windows 7 many times (example), but this does not work on Windows 10, because I don't think the loopback network adapter is exposed in the same location. At least for me, I don't see a loopback device in my device manager.

• Jan 13, 2014  I want to install the Microsoft Lookback Adapter in Windows 7. I have done this under Vista either via: 1) Control Panel, Classic View, Add Hardware. 2) Device Manager, right click on root node and select Add Legacy Hardware. I can't find the equivalent under Windows 7 - any suggestions?

• Dec 14, 2015  Enable Loopback Adapter. 1: In the search bar, right next to the Windows icon, type “Device Manager”. From the displayed results, tap on the “Device Manager”. 2: From the device manager window, click on action, and then from the drop down box, click on “Add legacy hardware”. 3: From the “Add Hardware” window.

Is there somewhere besides device manager that I need to look in order to disable the loopback adapter in Windows 10?

EDIT: The reason I would like to do this is to simulate a drop in internet connection for testing purposes. I am a developer programming a distributed application with Wamp. I have a Wamp router, and a subscriber. When a connection goes down, I need to ensure that my design reconnects to the server when the connection comes back up. However, I'm having trouble testing this scenario without running the router and subscriber on different machines. Having them both on the same machine would be nice for testing.

OK, so the answer given by @Ramhound in the comments I think is the correct answer for the title problem.

They changed the name of it to Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback Adapter. Read the instructions carefully by Kate LI. I have personally verified they do indeed work.

However, for my problem this did not work because installing this adapter, and disabling it did not stop local traffic from routing to localhost. Most peculiar in my opinion.

InstallShield uses areas in the file to store information that are not described in the PE format. Tools that update the resources on an EXE can inadvertently destroy this data as they do not expect it to be there, nor do they know how to detect or adjust it.InstallShield 12 or so and later allow you to specify a manifest, and it selects the manifest from files it ships that you can update before it adds them to the setup.exe. Edit exe manifestation. Visual Studio, CFF explorer, and countless other tools (including raw resource APIs) will also work to view and possibly update manifests in general.However for a built InstallShield setup.exe, there is a twist.

The answer for me was given by @strangeqargo, which was to use clumsy, which according to the github docs leverages WinDivert. It's most useful, and this is what got the job done for me. It successfully stopped packets sent from localhost and/or packets sent to localhost.
