Currently, when I need to disable/enable network adapter I'm performing the following steps:

  1. Opening the device manager (⊞ Win+R, devmgmt.msc and Enter).
  2. Searching for the required network adapter.
  3. Click right mouse button on it.
  4. Select Disable (or Enable) from the popup menu: enter image description here

How I can disable/enable network adapter from the command line?

Thanks

Open up PowerShell as Administrator and run the following:

Get-NetAdapter

Get-NetAdapter will list the Network adapter properties
