Player 16 appears to have renamed my Windows Ethernet network name after my WiFi SSID

Hi:

I'm experiencing something weird in Windows 10. Recently, my Ethernet interface in Windows "Network Connections" menu changed its name to the name of one of my WiFi network SSIDs. The weirdest part is, I'd never even connected to that WiFi network via Windows.  This appeared to happen shortly after I installed Player 16.x.

I did not ever change it that I'm aware of. Accidentally changing it would be unlikely, as I would've had to copy it from my router's web interface, have the network name highlighted, paste the name and then press Enter.

I found at least one other report on the Web of this happening. Does anyone know what causes this? Is it a known bug? Is there any solution?

 

Thanks
