Windows 10: Can windows10 update turn on WIFI-2 adapter?

I always turn off Wifi in windows settings. I also totally turned off the Wifi2 adapter intel dual band wireless, i don't use it.Suddenly i see in my history my pc connected to this adapter. It never happens.I checked my wifi setting, and everything is off, still. but the adapater was turned on. So i disconnected it again. so the icon is grayed outI can't understand how its "online" when everything is off. Is it possible a windows update turns it back on?

:)

 

Wifi adapter turned off

Thanks Mr. Andre Da Costa

1. Hosted network supported: yes
2. Antivirus uninstalled
3. Turn on mobile hotspot : can not be turned on while the wifi adapter is off
4. uninstall all virtual adapters: Done
5. HostedNetworkSettings key deleted
6. updating both your Network adapter drivers or uninstall them. : Done
7. Starting hotspot from command prompt does not work while the wifi adapter is off
8. Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter: not found. windows can not make virtual adapter while wifi adapter is off

The main problem is that the wifi adapter is off and if I turned it on it went off again immediately

I tried an external wifi USB adapter and it has the same problem, even if it is on it can not start a hotspot.

What must I do
