1. Start

We are going to change the net­work inter­faces order. To make this change, we directly start from Win­dows itself.
Firstly, you just have to open the ‘Net­work and Shar­ing cen­ter’ tray icon (left click).

4. Reorder­ing interfaces

You can now, reorder the inter­faces as you want. It’s prefer­able to set eth­er­net as first, wifi sec­ond, and all your vir­tual net­works inter­faces then.
