Wifiman Desktop breaks connectivity even when not in use

This is a consistent problem I have been seeing with Wifiman Desktop installed on a HP Windows laptop. In fact, installed on multiple laptops. Randomly, but normally after clean booting I find I have no internet access on the laptop. WiFi is connected but no access to anything. When I hover over the WiFi symbol in the taskbar I see two wifi networks connected, the second is a Wireguard network (Pictured).

If I go into task manager I see Wireguard is running, if I kill wireguard then connectivity is restored.

Now, I haven't installed wireguard or anything else that relies on it except Wifiman so it has to be that. Previously, before using Wifiman I have used Tailscale and never had this issue, it seems to be related to Wifiman's implementation. I have observed this behaviour on multiple laptops.

Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas how to stop it occurring?
