Visual Studio 2015 Xamarin tools

Question

I created a solution in Visual Studio 2015 using the Xamarin project type. During the initial creation, it did something to my network settings. I figured it was just doing what it needed to do to pretend to be an android phone or something. However, now every time I reboot my computer I have to go to my network settings and repair the connection or I can't use the internet.

Google search has so far been less than productive.

Does anyone know what I can do to permanently repair this issue?

Answer 1

so this required resetting my whole ethernet setup. I used this guide: Digital Citizen network reset guide . The gist of it is this:

Open the Settings App in Windows 10

Enter the "Network and Internet Settings" category

Select the "Status tab from the left-hand side.

Select the "Network reset" command from the page that's displayed.

You will be prompted to restart your computer. Click yes to all the options and make sure your work is saved. Restart your computer if it doesn't do so automatically.

I do not know if Visual Studio will mess this up again.
