Cannot Disable Named Pipes

I have an installation of SQL Server 2022. I have a named instance. 

When I set the port to a non default port, I cannot disable the named Pipes (SQL Server cannot start).
When I change the port to the default port 1433, the named pipes can be disabled without any issue. Is this correct?

    I wonder, because for a named instance the named pipes protocoll is disabled by default.
    But why do you want enable/disable NP?

      Disabling Named Pipes was requested from the vendor of the application. 

       

      I am trying to understand what is exactly the issue. Probably the problem is not the named instance, but the Virtual Computer Name given to the instance.

        ConPan , and told he a reason for? I can't imagine what for a reason it could be.
