"GENERAL FAILURE" ping 127.0.0.1 after `route delete` and `route add` restoring

Question

alt spelling: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/restart-software-loopback-interface.2880183/
is there a way to restart Software Loopback Interface without restarting windows ?

to reproduce:

route delete 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 if 1
route add 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 if 1
ping 127.0.0.1

output (tested on win11):

using route print, if 1 (interface 1) is:

this probably doesn't "restart" the interface but it does the job:

netsh interface ip set address "Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1" static address=127.0.0.1 mask=255.0.0.0 gateway=none

output:
