IPV6 disable

This document describes a PowerShell script that sets a prefix policy to prefer IPv4 over IPv6. It includes a list of IPv6 prefixes with their corresponding precedence and labels, and checks the registry for existing settings before applying the new policy. The script also tests the current prefix policy status and activates it if necessary.
