Can't change IP address on HoloLens
j2inet
✭
My HoloLens was assigned an IP address on another network and that address seems to be persisting even though I've reattached it to my network. I've tried disconnecting it from WiFi and connecting to a different access point and I've tried using the developer control panel (over the USB connection with the address 127.0.0.1:10080) but the device doesn't appear to do anything when I try to reset the IP address. Short of doing a hard reset is there any other way to get the device to update it's IP address?

Option 1:
Perhaps you already tried this, but did you try doing a restart?
(Say "Hey, Cortana Restart")Option 2:
Also, sometimes if you ask Cortana what your IP address is, it will be different than what shows up in the HoloLens settings. So you might find your true IP address that way.Option 3: Turn on Mobile hotspot on your laptop PC (if you have Windows 10 and it's supported by your hardware). Once you connect your HoloLens to it, you'll be able to see your HoloLens' true IP address. You might be able to do this with your phone as well.
Hope that helps.
