I’m facing while system restart windows auto change subnet to 248 why?

Windows may revert subnet masks, IP configurations, or system settings (like to a 255.255.255.248 range) after a restart due to conflicting network settings, DHCP lease renewals, driver issues, or Group Policy updates enforcing default configurations. If manual changes aren’t saved correctly, Windows might revert to its last known stable configuration or default settings. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Common Reasons for Subnet Reset on Restart:
• DHCP Conflict: If the computer is set to receive an IP address automatically, it may be receiving a different subnet mask from the router/server on reboot.
• Persistent Group Policy: Network configurations can be overwritten by Active Directory Group Policies at startup, forcing a specific subnet mask.
• Corrupted Driver: Outdated network adapter drivers can fail to retain manual IP configurations.
• Driver/Software Conflicts: Third-party security or networking software may be resetting the network adapter settings upon restart. [1, 4, 5, 6]
Steps to Resolve:

Re-configure TCP/IP: Go to Control Panel &gt; Network and Sharing Center &gt; Change adapter settings &gt; Right-click your network &gt; Properties &gt; IPv4 &gt; Set IP/Subnet manually if necessary, or ensure DHCP is correctly configured.
Update Drivers: Update or reinstall your network adapter driver.
Check for GPO: If on a domain, check with a network administrator regarding group policies, or run  in command prompt to ensure policies are applied correctly.
Run System File Checker: Use  in a command prompt to fix potential system file issues. [1, 2, 4, 7]

However, distinguished engineer Miguel de Icaza of Microsoft confirms that sideloading will be possible in some capacity. Here’s hoping it’s as easy as double-clicking an APK in Explorer.
In case you missed the news yesterday, Microsoft announced that its upcoming Windows 11 release would support Android apps on both x86- and ARM-powered devices. Amazon was chosen as a partner for the feature, with Microsoft bundling Amazon’s Appstore as a source for Android apps.
There are still many unknowns when it comes to Windows 11’s new Android support, but one more thing is known today: At some level, you’ll be able to sideload your own apps.
