I wound up doing the following:
Backed up registry key per the first two articles and deleting the folders with Minport items
Then in Device Manager - disabled the Miniports
Set Service Remote Access Auto Connection Management
These steps did keep the Miniports away.
BUT what really seemed to heal the boxes (2 of them , and one I did not remove the minports) was to attach a hardware Lan cable, get internet (network) connectivity, then disconnect the cable and connect through wifi and all was normal.
