I am using Microsoft KM-Test Loopback Adapter for one of my application in my Laptop where i have Windows 10 OS.
Few days back I had Windows 10 Update 21H2 installed in my laptop, and after that the Loopback Adapter I had is not available/shown in machine.
When I try to add the Loopback Adapter again with the name I used previously it throws error "the adapter already exist", please help me.
Is this is a know issue where loopback adapter disappear after Windows upgrade? If yes/no please help me how can I proceed.

I found a similar issue reported earlier: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/e31a03f0-a12e-4a97-8f0e-2f8d7bfac145/after-recent-windows-10-update-the-loopback-adapter-doesnt-show-in-the-quotnetwork?forum=win10itprogeneral
Do you suggest the workaround/fix suggested there as the solution for the issue I reported?
