    Changing control panel ethernet name [Windows 10]


    I'm unable to change the control panel name for my ethernet network interface. I understand how to change network names and adapter names. The name I want is displayed correctly under change adapter settings. I want it labeled, "Ethernet".

    Part OCD, Part determination, I want to figure out how to rename in it windows control panel. It is labeled, "Ethernet 3".

    It changes in adapter settings, it does not in control panel. I've searched many, multiples, of solved threads and they do not answer this specific problem in renaming the control panel name. This could be that I have some sort of registry issue and it should be renaming it through conventional methods when it otherwise is not, I am not sure of that.

    I've already done everything in those threads and well it worked, as you can see my change adapter settings picture shows I have renamed it to Ethernet from Ethernet 3. Under control panel, even after restart and network reset, it still displays Ethernet 3. Those 3 threads definitely do not answer that.

    Thank you so very much for your reply.

    I'm sorry your system seems unusual.
