Maybe try:

1. Start -> Settings

2. Network & Internet -> wifi

3. Find the WiFi adapter, and click 'Advanced options' link

4. Set 'Random Hardware Addresses' to 'off'

On Android (well, at least on Pixel), this can be turned off on a per-wifi-network level, so you can turn it off for your home network, but still have it on (default) for all others.

There is no “Advanced options” link. There is “Change adapter options” and “Change advanced sharing options”.

I can’t find “Random Hardware Addresses” anywhere

They don't work. That option doesn't appear.

I'm not sure if this is a Home vs Pro issue, or if this is an issue with which Windows 10 Build one is running, or an issue with which particular Wifi driver is being used.
