Im not exactly sure what wireguard doing to create virtual network adapters
in windows, but it's more looks like it can't handle deletion of them
properly.
This issue easy to reproduce:

   1. Create wireguard's tunnels.
   2. Connect tunnel, disconnect and remove it.
   3. Repeat it multiple times.

Windows registry will be full of wrong records of these non-existed network
connections.
And now try to open Task Scheduler and click on "Create task..." it will
crash with log:

So ive googled solution

To resolve the problem,

And it actually helps.
Can wireguard just properly handle this "issue" on his own and do not break
Task Scheduler application?
