Manually Edit Windows Registry

1. Open Regedit - press Windows+R keys, type "Regedit" in the Run window, Enter.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters.
3. Double-click on DisabledComponents, if DisabledComponents is unavailable, you must create it; otherwise skip to step 5:
   1. Right-click on Parameters (in the left pane)
   2. Select New, then DWORD (32-bit) Value
   3. Enter "DisabledComponents" and then press Enter
4. Double-click DisabledComponents.
5. Change the Value data to 20 and the Base setting to Hexadecimal.
6. After modifying this value, reboot the workstation, and windows will default to IPv4.

Run a netsh command

1. From an elevated CMD prompt run: netsh interface ipv6 set prefixpolicy ::ffff:0:0/96 46 4.
2. This will set the precedence of IPV4 to 46 just below localhost (50).
