Perhaps I misunderstand something.

If you disable WiFi on your laptop, the CAT installer will fail. It is meant to install eduroam over WiFi so clearly it needs that. Also if the Windows wireless configuration service is disabled, the installer will not run.


From what you say it seems to appear the if you enable the wireless device driver then it causes unstable behaviour of the system, but if so then it would be the problem of the device and nothing else.

Yours

Hi Tomasz,
I am operating windows 11. The executable file needed to use Eduroam, "eduroam-W10-UoB-EduROAM AT UniBE.exe", needs access to a wireless network adapter in your computer to run. For example, if you try running the executable file with your wifi driver disabled, it fails to run. This is the exact driver that is now causing me an issue and windows fails to open on bootup and also disables on random occasions.
Sincerely, James

Hi,


  could you tell what operating system are you using?

CAT installers create network profiles for eduroam. This is a one-time action. The applications does not install itself, it just runs, creates the profiles and exits. It is not being run again unless you start it yourself.

You can remove installed eduroam profiles - which is normally the equivalent of "forget network" .


I would find it highly unlikely that the existence of the eduroam profile on your laptop could any way interfere with other networks.

Cheers

Tomasz Wolniewicz

Hello,
I downloaded CAT for use eduroam in my institution on my personal laptop, but ever since downloading it, my Network Adapter on my laptop has been malfunctioning. The Wi-Fi on my laptop no longer works and the driver associated with Wi-Fi on my device cannot start. Just wondering why this happened and if there is a fix/way to remove this Cat installation from my computer.
Sincerely, James
