I have some software that fails installation with the error "random hardware addresses is turned on" please turn off. My problem is this is a WIFI setting and I don't have a WIFI adaptor in my computer, it's online via ethernet. So there's no way to access a setting to turn this feature off. I have spent a long time searching the net and I have a basic understanding on what this is but it boils down to this - I need to turn that feature off (because the software is signalling that it is turned on and won't install) but the only way to do that is through a WIFI setting which I don't have because I don't have a WIFI adaptor. Is there a trick or a hack to do this when you only have ethernet? Or perhaps the software is falsely reporting the option is on, I really don't know.

Just for sanity, run:
Code:
netsh wlan show profiles

If there's a Wireless profile for some odd reason, run the next command.
Code:
netsh wlan set randomization enabled=no interface="Wireless Network Connection"
