Network provider order

After windows upgrade, the registry entries for network provider order is reset removing all other providers, except RDPNP,LanmanWorkstation,webclient. Is there any way, avoiding this or any other way windows could inform that an upgrade has been done.

Currently, the only solution is checking the order every time the system starts.

I have not encountered this in the past, what platform is this happening on?

Its after upgrading from windows 8 to windows 8.1.

So, I have these entries reset,

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\HwOrder]
“ProviderOrder”=“MyNetworkProvider,RDPNP,LanmanWorkstation,webclient”

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order]
“ProviderOrder”=“MyNetworkProvider,RDPNP,LanmanWorkstation,webclient”

Windows 8.1 network provider order after in-place upgrade was complete:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\HwOrder]
“ProviderOrder”=“RDPNP,LanmanWorkstation,webclient”

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order]
“ProviderOrder”=“RDPNP,LanmanWorkstation,webclient”

After I have manually entered “MyNetworkProvider” back to the order, it fixes the issue, and everything is working fine.

We noticed this too when someone upgraded their Windows installation to Server 2012R2 with our product installed. Our redirector disappeared from the registry list. Thanks, Microsoft.
