What are these, and what are they used for; how do I get rid of this? Because I haven't got OpenVPN or any other VPN-client installed on my computer (to my knowledge).
I am not sure but I thing this makes my computer 'not connect to the Internet as fast as it should' on start-up.Provided image displays my annoyance. (It's Norwegian)

I know that this question is old, but maybe it can help other people that come across with this same question. I found a solution, though it is not a permanent solution, the TAP adapters will keep coming while you keep a KMS activator or a VPN client of sorts running, which can keep installing these adapters over and over (the reason for that I don't really know, bad programmers maybe? :P ).
Anyways, here's what you can do:
- Download OpenVPN: https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html
- Uncheck all the boxes except the TAP Adapter utility and install.
- Open your Notepad with admin privileges and open the file C:Program FilesTAP-Windowsbindeltapall.bat
- Replace 'remove tap0901' for 'remove tapoas'
- Save the script in the same folder with the name 'deltapall2.bat' (or any name you would like to give to it, doesn't matter, as long the extension is bat)
- Open your command prompt with admin privileges.
- cd 'c:program filestap-windowsbin'
- deltapall and wait for it finish
- deltapall2 and wait for it to finish
- Go to your Devices Manager and you will see that all TAP adapters are removed.
- Restart your PC and you are ready to go!
To prevent a KMS tool to install these TAP adapters again and again and again, go to the Task Scheduler and disable or delete all of the KMS tasks that were created. Though the KMS tool service may create those tasks all over again! So yeah.. there is nothing to do about that.If you are using a KMS tool, I would recommend you to stop using these activators and just support the developers of the software you are using by buying a license! You would avoid all this confusion.
Finally, be advised that if you actually use VPN, you will probably be unable to access it without a TAP Adapter. So if you use VPN you may want to keep your VPN adapter, if it is a TAP adapter, reinstall it running your VPN's install software, or the OpenVPN's one, or using the 'addtap' script included in the same folder as the 'deltapall'.
I hope it helps!

Do the following and they will disappear
Win+R -> Type in
msinfo32
and press Enter.Now you will see the following Console Window.
In the left pane navigate to components ->Network -> Adapter Here you can see all the Network Adapters listed Find the TAP adapters and see the Driver location as shown in the below image
I have given a sample image as i have already deleted the TAP adapters. Don't delete the Microsoft Adapters. Find the Tap adapters location in listed adapters & go to the location for example: 'C:WindowsSystem32DriversTAP.sys' and delete them.
After this Just Go to device Management and uninstall the TAP adapters under Network Adapters.
Note: While uninstalling tick the option 'Delete the Driver' if asked for a prompt.
That's it, you're done.

Do you use Auto KMS for Licencing Microsoft products?
Well I had the same problem 2 weeks ago. It seem recently i installed a copy of Office 2013 which came with Auto KMS activation. Ever since then a process called Auto KMS appeared in my processes.
Anyway I tried to install all the unwanted TAP drivers but it didn't allowed me.Then what I did is manually uninstalled the drivers from device manager.
Then opened the file location of the AutoKMS.exe from my task manager and deleted it. Gave a restart, and my all drivers were gone forever. As for my Office..its still working and licensed.

I had the same issue (150 TAP adapters, which significantly slowed down my computer) and in my case the reason was an application called TAP Windows. I don't remember installing that app, so maybe it was installed together with an another software. Anyway uninstalling TAP Windows helped, all tap adapters were gone instantly.

Hi guys, i really need help on this. Anyways, lets get started. So, as i recently wanted to check why my Gigabit Adapter does not take in Gigabit anymore since the upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, i checked by in the Network Sharing Center, and went under the Adapter Settings. There, i found 13! TAP-Windows Adapter V9, and i tried to disable them and uninstall them in the device manager, i even tried a registry thing i found in a spanish windows forums, but they just keep enabling and installing themselves. Can anyone of you help me figure out what does this? I noticed a huge impact on network speed and performance (i.e, i had before those came a 100MBit Up and Down speed, now i have 10Mbit Up and Down -_-). So ye, i really want them gone, here a screenshot:
Also if you could help me figure out why i cant take in Gigabit anymore on my 'Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (2) I218-V' on Windows 10 Pro, that would be great (because where i live now, i can get Gigabit and i would really like that, but Windows 10 Pro broke it (No its not the cable or so wich is broken, because the adapter should still say it can take in 1GBit in the Properties of the adapter, wich it did back in Windows 8.1 Pro, and i was using a Wireless Adapter))

I've used this tool at least 100 times over the past 7 or 8 years, mostly for Office / reinstalls of Windows.
I just installed 2013 on a machine, then Toolkit activate it with AutoKMS. Worked fine.
Try the same copy of Office, the same Toolkit on another PC, no dice and I've un-installed / re-installed and run as administrator.
Installed product key detected - attempting to activate the following product: Name: Office 15, OfficeProPlusVL_KMS_Client edition Description: Office 15, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel Family: OfficeProPlusVL_KMS_Client SKU ID: b322da9c-a2e2-4058-9e4e-XXXXXXXXX Last 5 characters of installed product key: GVXXX ERROR CODE: 0xC004F074 ERROR TEXT: The Software Licensing Service reported that the product could not be activated. No Key Management Service (KMS) could be contacted. Please see the Application Event Log for additional information. <Product activation failed>
Anyone else seen this? I'm kinda baffled.

-->Here are some troubleshooting steps for common installation and setup problems.
Failure to connect to device
Probably the most common problem is a failure to connect to the Azure Sphere device. This problem can occur for many reasons and may trigger any of several error messages, depending on which tools or applications encounter it. The following error messages may indicate a failed connection:
An error occurred. Please check your device is connected and your PC has been configured correctly, then retry.
Could not connect to the device. Check if your device is connected to the PC. The device may be unresponsive if it is applying an Azure Sphere operating system update; Wait a few minutes and then retry. If this issue persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Azure Sphere SDK.
An unexpected problem occurred. Please try again; if the issue persists, please refer to aka.ms/azurespheresupport for troubleshooting suggestions and support.
Failed to retrieve device ID from attached device: 'Could not connect to the device; please ensure it is attached.'
Failed to establish communication with device after recovery.
Failure to connect may occur for any of these reasons:
- The board is not connected by USB to the PC.
- The board is not powered. Download crack corel draw x7.
- The TAP-Windows adapter is not installed or is not configured correctly.
- The Azure Sphere Device Communication Service has not yet started.
To resolve the problem, start with these basic steps:
- Ensure that the device is connected by USB to the PC.
- If the device is connected, press the Reset button on the device. Wait ten seconds or so for the device to restart, and then try the failed command again.
- If the error recurs, unplug the device from the USB port, plug it in again, and wait for it to restart.
- If the error recurs after restart, use the View Network Connections control panel to check that the adapter exists and is configured to use IP address 192.168.35.1. To access this control panel, press Start and type 'ncpa.cpl'. Right-click on the Azure Sphere device to view its properties. If Azure Sphere is not visible or does not have the correct IP address, reinstall the Azure Sphere SDK.
If none of these steps solves the problem, try the solutions that follow.
Check the power to the board
If the MT3620 board appears 'dead' or unresponsive, the problem could be a lack of power.
Make sure that the real-time clock (RTC) is powered, by either the main 3V3 power supply or a coin cell battery, as described in the MT3620 development board user guide.
MT3620 development boards are shipped from the factory with a jumper header across pins 2 and 3 of J3, which powers the clock from the main power supply. Check that the header has not been dislodged or removed.
Check the TAP-Windows adapter configuration
Azure Sphere tools communicate with attached development boards by using an IP network over USB. This requires the TAP-Windows adapter from OpenVPN Technologies. The Azure Sphere SDK installation procedure installs this adapter on your PC if it is not already present.
Microsoft Toolkit Reddit
However, if a different version of the TAP-Windows adapter is already installed, or if the Azure Sphere device is not connected to the first instance of the TAP-Windows adapter, the Azure Sphere tools may fail to connect to your device.
To determine whether the problem is related to the TAP adapter, first find out how many TAP adapters are installed on your PC, and then modify the installation if necessary.
To determine how many TAP adapters are installed on your PC:
- Open Control Panel.
- In Windows Settings, select Network & Internet, and then select Change Adapter Options. You should see only one TAP adapter, as in the screenshot:If you see more than one TAP adapter, or if you see only one TAP adapter but its name is not Azure Sphere, follow these steps to uninstall all TAP adapters and reinstall the SDK. If you see no TAP adapters, reinstall the SDK.

To uninstall the TAP adapters:
- Click Start and type 'Device Manager'.
- In Device Manager, open Network Adapters and select TAP-Windows adapter:
- Right-click TAP-Windows adapter and select Uninstall Device. In the dialog box, check Delete the driver software for this device, then click Uninstall.
- Open a command prompt as Administrator and run the following Powershell installer script:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -File '%ProgramData%MicrosoftAzure SphereTapDriverInstallerTapDriverInstaller.ps1' Install
If the installation succeeds, restart the Azure Sphere Device Communication Service:net stop AzureSphereDeviceCommunicationService
net start AzureSphereDeviceCommunicationService

Android Smart TV has supported Showbox android app, you can watch movies and stream free tv shows on this app.
Failure to create three COM Ports
After you set up an MT3620 development board, you should see three COM ports in Device Manager. If you see only one or two, as in the following screenshot, you may have a problem with the FTDI driver:
To resolve this problem:
- Open Device Manager by clicking Start and typing 'Device Manager.'
- Under Universal Serial Bus controllers, select 'USB Serial Converter A.' Right-click the name, select Uninstall Device, and delete the driver if given the option:Repeat this step for 'USB Serial Converter B' through 'USB Serial Converter D. As you uninstall the USB Serial Converters, you should see the USB Serial Ports also disappear from the Device Manager window.
- Unplug your development board from your PC and plug it back in again. 'MSFT MT3620 Std Interface' should appear with a triangle warning icon, which indicates no driver is available.
- Right-click on one of the 'MSFT MT3620 Std Interface' devices and select Update driver. Choose 'Search automatically for updated driver software.' Updating one should fix them all. You should now see three USB Serial Ports in the Ports section.
USB errors
If the following error occurs after you attach an MT3620 development board, you may have a USB error:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) A USB port reset request failed.
To resolve this error, try these steps:
- Plug the device into a different USB port on the PC. If the error occurred when the device was plugged into a USB hub, plug it into a port on the PC instead.
- If the problem recurs, plug the device into a powered USB hub. In some cases, USB ports do not provide adequate power for the board, so a powered hub may solve the problem.
PC drops connection to Azure Sphere
If your PC can connect to the Azure Sphere device, but often drops the connection, you may have a conflict in the IP subnet.
Azure Sphere uses subnet 192.168.35.*. If you have other software that uses the same subnet, either disable that software or limit the range of IP addresses that it uses.
Currently, you cannot change the range of IP addresses that Azure Sphere uses.
