check for the connected interface

from the above command result you can find the connected interface notedown its idx id which is 12 in my case but your id may vary , type following command with your idx id in the command prompt then press enter

netsh interface ipv4 set interface 12 dadtransmits=0 store=persistent

this will give you following result

C:\\Users\\Administrator>netsh interface ipv4 set interface 12 dadtransmits=0 store=persistent
