This is how you prioritize network adapters system-wide

1. Get into Network Connections

Method 1 (manual)

1. Enter Control Panel
   1. You can open the Run Window (Win+R) -> type “control” -> ok/enter
   2. Search “control panel” in Start
2. All Control Panel Items

1. Network and Sharing Center
2. Change adapter settings (left)

Method 2 (paste in file explorer address bar)

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

2. When you’re in, right click -> properties in adapter, or double-click.

3. Properties again

4. TCP/IPv4 -> Properties (again)

5. If you have a custom DNS server setup, it’s fine. Click on advanced…

6. Untick automatic metric, write what you want (even 1 is OK). This is the actual network adapter priority, 1 being the highest.

7. Click on ok, ok, close, close

DONE.

That is how you prioritize network adapters. Hope this helps!
