Why is it not showing the connect network?

When I scan for devices on my wifi network, it shows me the hamachi one instead of the wifi network I am connected to. When I press, "scan for devices", I see a different network instead of the wifi one. Why is that?
There was no such issue before the update. The current Fing version is 1.4.0.

    Hi @Naxxo welcome to the community and thanks for asking your question.
    To ensure that your app has updated everything, we can try to uninstall and then reinstall it and see if it still acts in the same way.  If so I'd see if you can temporarily disable the virtual Ethernet adapter and scan again, see what your results are with that.

    So I played around with it and now basically to scan the wifi network I need to turn on hamachi. Strange behavior :D.

    That doesn't make a lot of sense, though.  This app isn't running on the VM is it?

    No it isn't.

    Now after I ran one scan with hamachi on, even after I close it and restart the PC, it scans my wifi correctly.
