Question

I have 5 network adapters: Two Ethernet ports that are on my mainboard, one for my Bluetooth adapter, one Virtual-Box Host-Only connection and one TeamViewer VPN connection.
99% of the time I'm using one ethernet connection and that's also what I'm interested in when I open the network pane of the task manager. However, first I see 3 blank graphs and only after scrolling down the non-idle network connection becomes visible.
One thing to do would be to disable the network adapters. But since I'm using them from time to time this is not practical. I'd probably forget having disabled them and wonder why it doesn't work...

How can I

• either hide specific network interfaces
• or automatically hide idle network interfaces

in Task Manager?

Answer 1

Yes, open the task manager. Go to the processes that you wish you end and for each one right click and go to properties. From there you will see a hidden option. Check the box, and press apply.
