You can enable or disable IPv6 through your network adapter settings in Windows. Here's how:
Steps to Enable or Disable IPv6
-
Open Network & Internet Settings: Right-click the network icon in the notification tray (usually in the bottom right corner of your screen) and select "Open Network & Internet settings."
-
Open Network and Sharing Center: In the Network & Internet settings window, click on "Network and Sharing Center."
-
Access Adapter Settings: In the Network and Sharing Center, find and click on "Change adapter settings" on the left-hand side. This will show you a list of your network connections.
-
Open Adapter Properties: Right-click on the network adapter you want to modify (e.g., Ethernet, Wi-Fi) and select "Properties." You may need administrator privileges to do this.
-
Enable or Disable IPv6: In the properties window, find "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)" in the list.
- To enable IPv6: Check the box next to "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)."
- To disable IPv6: Uncheck the box next to "Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)."
-
Confirm Changes: Click "OK" to save your changes and then close the remaining windows.
After making the changes, your computer might need a few moments to adjust. You may need to restart your computer for the changes to fully take effect, though this is often not necessary.
