My school allocated a /64 prefix IPv6 block to all my schoolmates, I want to fix the 64 bit suffix of my Windows 10 22H2 PC, so I executed the following PowerShell script to set my custom IPv6 address $ip
the only one IP that is actually used for outgoing packages and succeeded.
Add a custom IPv6 address:
New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias Wi-Fi -IPAddress $ip -PolicyStore ActiveStore -PrefixLength 64
Set-NetIPAddress -IPAddress $ip -SkipAsSource $False
Set all other public IPv6 addresses' SkipAsSource
to $True
to prevent them from being used for outgoing packages:
Get-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias Wi-Fi | ForEach-Object {
if( ($_.AddressFamily.ToString() -eq "IPv6") -And ($_.IPAddress -ne $ip) -And ($_.PrefixOrigin.ToString() -ne "WellKnown") ){
Set-NetIPAddress -IPAddress $_.IPAddress -SkipAsSource $True
}
}
But after a few minutes, the IPv6 address whose PrefixOrigin
is "Dhcp"
, its SkipAsSource
became $False
, which made my PC use the DHCP IPv6 address for outgoing packages. In order to find why, I executed the following PowerShell script to find the accurate time when the DHCP IPv6 address's SkipAsSource
became $False
:
$isChanged = $false
while( !$isChanged ){
Start-Sleep 10
Get-Date
Get-NetIPAddress -InterfaceAlias "Wi-Fi" -AddressFamily IPv6 | ForEach-Object{
if($_.PrefixOrigin -eq "Dhcp"){
if($_.SkipAsSource -eq $False){
$global:isChanged = $True
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "Found it"
break
}else{
Write-Host "Nothing wrong"
}
}
}
}
The time span I found is between 2023-07-12 02:20:00 UTC+8
and 2023-07-12 02:20:10 UTC+8
, then found the following system log whose timestamp is 2023-07-12 02:20:01 UTC+8
which maybe related.

So how to prevent the DHCP IPv6 address from being reverted? Or how to disable DHCPv6?
Settings\Network & Internet\Status\"Properties" button of the current connected network\IP Settings
still shows DHCPv6 is on, then I assigned a IPv6 address here. Thanks for your notice, hoping my problem will be solved in this way! lifewire.com/disable-dhcp-5075607 @JaromandaX
