Wireguard - How to change the adapter friendly-name on windows in Golang?

I downloaded the wireguard-windows repository and I navigated to this path
wireguard-windows/tunnel/winipcfg/types.go

in this types.go file I found this function:

// FriendlyName method returns a user-friendly name for the adapter. For example: "Local Area Connection 1."
// This name appears in contexts such as the ipconfig command line program and the Connection folder.
func (addr *IPAdapterAddresses) FriendlyName() string {
    if addr.friendlyName == nil {
        return ""
    }
    return windows.UTF16PtrToString(addr.friendlyName)
}

When creating a connection in this Wireguard desktop app it's creating a network adapter with the name "Wireguard Tunnel", is there a way to change it?

It's not something related to Go. It's more about Windows: ns-iptypes-ip_adapter_addresses_lh You can change friendly name in Windows registry as far as I know.
