Question

.Net TNS Listener Adapter is missing on some Server 2022 and windows 11 pro
operating systems even thought the feature is turned on and enabled.

It doesn't show up under services

Answer 1

Server 2022
Windows 11

Answer 2

Why am I going to an oracle site for help with a Microsoft question.

Because you are referencing "TNS" which is the Oracle service that accepts incoming requests to an Oracle database instance.

What you really want is the TCP Listener Adapter.

Open control panel and verify that you have the feature turned on.

Then open a Powershell prompt and run this command.

Get-Service | Where-Object {($_.Name -like '*tcp*') -or ($_.DisplayName -like '*tcp*')}  

Verify that NetTcpActivator is one of the services that is listed.

Status   Name               DisplayName  
------   ----               -----------  
Running  lmhosts            TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper  
Running  NetTcpActivator    Net.Tcp Listener Adapter  
Running  NetTcpPortSharing  Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service  

Answer 3

Its not running that is the problem.
We turned on the TCP Activation feature and its service still isn't running
This is happening on both Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11

It doesn't gives us the option to uncheck "TCP Activation" box.
