Hello, my computer's HWID seems to keep resetting after my computer restarts and this is having a really big issue for me since one of the main apps I'm using is connected to my HWID, I have to get my HWID reset through the owner of the app everyday to be able to use it. Is there any fix for this?

    The software generates a hardware ID by gathering information about the computer, including the first network adapter found. Switching network adapters on/off may cause a new and different hardware ID to be generated, causing a mismatch.

    Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings.Press the [Alt] key to expose the Advance menu > Select Advanced Settings...

    Use the arrows on the right of the dialog box to re-arrange the adapter. Connected Bluetooth devices may also alter the order of the adapters
