If you really want to remove them, I first recommend creating a system restore point, just in case.

In my attempts to troubleshoot the connection my PCs, laptop, and tablet ended up making new connections called Local Area Connection X where X is whatever the previous one was plus one.

I am very slightly familiar with removing these previously using netsh command line.

However I am doing something wrong this time as I cant seem to get it to list and delete anything.

Thanks in advance.

Here is what I have on my wired PC, assuming I am running the correct commands.

The following command was not found: interface show interfaces.

Note: (this one will no longer get internet using wifi currently refuses to change network to private and as a result internet access is not available, I spent hours trying to find a solution and fix.

This is not the first time this has been a problem with that PC and previous methods to fix it are not available or arent working).

It sounds like your router failed and after doing so, each of your connections to the router on your devices became Local Area Connection (Original 1) If Im correct, I dont understand why this would happen.

As of right now, have you gotten the router to work Or have you replaced it.

Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 How To Clean Up

Im still in need of guidance on how to clean up the redundant and excess aliases.

Or whatever they are called as seen from the lists from the netsh command line.

Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1 Windows 10 And Post

Prior to windows 10 and post windows 7 netsh worked for removing those.

But now it is like it can only be used to view but not change even when logged in as administrator and the command prompt is ran as administrator.

In windows 7 and earlier there was a GUI for deleting the redundant or retained but no longer active network data and also renaming them.

They are mechanisms for IPv6 connectivity to IPv4-only networks.

They can also be for securing a connection to an unsecured network.
