Hi A J,

Thank you for posting in the Q&A Forums.

In Windows 10, enabling promiscuous mode (also known as “monitor mode”) for WiFi adapters directly from the command line is not directly supported, as Windows does not provide such a command directly. Promiscuous mode is typically used for network monitoring and analysis, such as using tools like Wireshark to capture all packets on the network, not just those to and from the local machine.

Best regards
