Summary
The NDIS Virtual Network Adapter Enumerator is a driver responsible for controlling virtual network adapters in Windows operating systems. The driver makes possible the configurations of virtual network adapters to work with various features of virtualization, network monitoring, and the ability to attach the virtual machines to a network.
Usage:
The most important purpose of the NDIS Virtual Network Adapter Enumerator driver is to allow higher layers to create and manage virtual network adapters. These virtual network adapters, in turn, can provide such advanced networking functionality as virtualized environments and even network simulations.
The driver allows operating systems to detect and communicate with virtual network interfaces as physical network devices for network isolation, virtual machine networking, and advanced diagnostics.
If the driver is missing or outdated, virtual network interfaces may not function correctly. Outbyte Driver Updater tool can help detect and install the required driver versions.
