ipconfig:tldr:7b361

The command "ipconfig /release ${adapter}" is used in Windows command prompt to release the current IP address configuration of a specific network adapter.

Here's what each part of the command means:

• "ipconfig" is a Windows command used to display or modify the IP address configuration of network interfaces on a system.
• "/release" is a specific switch (or option) used with the "ipconfig" command. It instructs the system to release the currently assigned IP configuration of the specified network adapter.
• "${adapter}" is a placeholder for the name or index number of the network adapter you want to release the IP configuration from. The actual network adapter name or index needs to be provided in place of "${adapter}".

When you execute this command, the system will release the current IP address, subnet mask, and other network configuration details associated with the specified network adapter. This usually results in the network adapter obtaining a new IP address from the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server upon renewal.
