However, you can modify this behavior by unchecking the option called “Automatically restart network connection to apply changes.”
4. How to restore the MAC address in Windows using the Registry Editor
Start the Registry Editor as administrator and use its address bar or its navigation panel on the left to get to this path:
The subdirectories of this location contain all the network interfaces found on your Windows PC. Browse through them and check the information displayed on the right panel to identify the one you need to change. The DriverDesc field is the most likely to help you pinpoint the right network card.
Identify the network adapter for which you want to reset the MAC address
Once you’ve identified and selected the network interface for which you need to reset the MAC address, look on the right for an entry named Network Address. Its value field should contain the spoofed MAC address. Select it and press Delete on your keyboard. Alternatively, right-click or press and hold on it, then select Delete in the contextual menu.
Delete the NetworkAddress entry
A message appears, warning you that the action could cause system instability. This is a standard message that appears every time you delete a registry value. Press Yes to confirm your action, then reboot your computer. The network adapter should now have its original MAC address.
5. How to restore the MAC address in Windows 11 or Windows 10 from the command line
Once we’ve learned how to restore MAC addresses from the Registry Editor, we can now speed up this change using the reg command in the command line with Terminal, Command Prompt, or PowerShell. First, open the Terminal, Command Prompt, or PowerShell as administrator, depending on which app you prefer to use.
Before you execute the command below, you need to replace the underlined numeric string. The string is associated with the network card that you want to change in Windows Registry. Review the previous section to find out how to get this number from the Registry Editor.

6. Restore the MAC address on Wi-Fi networks by disabling MAC randomization
Both Windows 11 and Windows 10 have a feature that, when activated, randomizes the MAC address each time you connect to a Wi-Fi network. Please note, though, that this feature is only supported by certain Wi-Fi network adapters. If the methods above didn’t solve the issue, this feature might be active, in which case you can return to the original MAC address for Wi-Fi networks by turning the feature off. Since the way to do this varies slightly depending on your operating system, let’s start with Windows 11:
Disable random hardware addresses in Windows 11
Launch the Settings app, select Network & internet on the left sidebar, and click or tap on Wi-Fi on the right.
First, go to Wi-Fi in the Network & internet section of Settings
Next, check if the Random hardware address is activated for all Wi-Fi networks. If it is, deactivate it by flipping the switch to Off.

Now, you may have activated the randomization of network addresses for a specific Wi-Fi network, so next, let’s check that. On the same page from the Settings app, click or tap on Manage known networks.
Go to Manage known networks on the Wi-Fi page
Then, choose a wireless network from the list by clicking or tapping on it.
Click on the desired Wi-Fi network
On the next page, locate the Random hardware addresses setting, click or tap on the drop-down list on its right side, and select Off.
Disable random hardware address for a particular Wi-Fi network in Windows 11
Next time you connect to the selected Wi-Fi network, the MAC should revert to its default. If you want to do that right now, you need to reconnect to your Wi-Fi or disable and re-enable Wi-Fi on your Windows 11 computer or device.
Disable random hardware addresses in Windows 10
Just like in Windows 11, some Windows 10 settings also allow you to randomize your MAC address when connecting to Wi-Fi networks with certain adapters. Let’s first check if it’s on for all wireless connections. Open the Settings app, then navigate to Network & Internet and select Wi-Fi on the left sidebar. On the right side of the window, look for “Use random hardware addresses.” Check the status of the feature and turn it off if it’s active by flicking the switch next to it.
Restore your MAC for all Wi-Fi by switching off Random hardware addresses
To check if the feature is active for a particular network, click or tap the Manage known networks link in the Wi-Fi window.
Access the Manage known networks section
On the Manage known networks page, select the Wi-Fi connection for which you want to restore the original MAC address. Click or tap on Properties.
Open the Properties of the selected Wi-Fi network
Locate the Random hardware addresses section and the setting named “Use random addresses for this network.” Then, click or tap the drop-down list under the latter and select Off.
