I'm being unable to change my IPV6 settings and I'm getting access denied for netsh int ipv4 reset

Question

So I used the command: netsh int ipv4 reset and got error resetting, failed and access is denied, for the last two entries. So upon searching I found that I just needed to give proper admin access to the folder: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nsi{eb004a00-9b1a-11d4-9123-0050047759bc}" in the registry. But upon going there, I noticed there were multiple instances of the folder: "{eb004a00-9b1a-11d4-9123-0050047759bc}" I did everything I could such as checked there are no local group policies configured, uninstalled/reinstalled the adapters, updated the adapter drivers.

I added these commands in elevated administration in CMD. (Not sure what they do though)

ipconfig /flushdns

nbtstat -R

nbtstat -RR

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

netsh int ipv4 reset

netsh int ipv6 reset

netsh winsock reset

I also did the "IP /release", "IP /renew"

I just want to use cloudflare's dns servers for IPV6 and have my data encrypted, everything worked fine for IPV4, can't understand why this is happening. I heard it could be due to malware, and indeed I found malware on my computer a few weeks back and then, I reinstalled my windows 11 yesterday.

Though since I didn't had a clean machine, I was advised by a Microsoft's assistant (Sunny) that it was okay to do the download of the media creation tool, and create it on my infected machine. (I did a system reset before doing that, and disconnected from the internet, also disabled autoplay.) So I downloaded the media creation tool, on my machine and ran it inside my USB, while being on safe mode.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hello,

Based on the information you provided, I suggest you use the following method to completely reset the network to see if it works:

1. Press Win + R to open the Run window, enter regedit and click OK to open the registry.
2. Navigate to the following location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings \ Connections.
3. Then delete the "Connections" item.

4. Restart the computer.

Note If you modify the registry incorrectly, you can cause serious problems. Therefore, follow these steps carefully. For additional protection, back up the registry before you modify it. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, see How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.

I hope the above information can help you.
