Windows 10: Ethernet communication problem since Updates KB5028948 and KB5029263

Have a laptop running Windows 11 and a cnc running NT 4.0. connected by ethernet network. Have not been able to communicate or send files from laptop running Windows 11 to the cnc since updates KB5028948 and KB5029260 from 8/9 and 8/10. Is there a solution to this? Anyone else have this problem?

Recent update August 8, 2023 KB5029263 and KB5028948 caused Explorer to freeze and system unusable

On 12th Aug 2023 my system was automatically updated with the patches KB5029263 [1] and KB5028948 [2] and I noticed that the explorer could no longer open any folder or a file. The application loaded up, but it just would not work. I even tried installing alternate file explorer for windows 11, but as soon as I try to right click on a file, even that would just hang (spinner would just run forever).

Few more details on the issue - As soon as I click on a folder within File Explorer (Microsoft explorer) then the spinner would just turn up and the app would go into "not responding" mode. Even after repeatedly terminating or restarting the issue would persist. Same issue with restarting machine multiple times.

Tried fixes:

1. Restart Explorer
   
2. Restart Machine
   
3. Check for windows update
   
4. sfc /scannow (as administrator)
   
5. alternate file explorer
   

I tried multiple solution on Microsoft support site to online guides, but none helped. I did find an issue with `sfc /scannow` with the Bluetooth driver but it did not fix the issue. The only thing which helped was to uninstall the recent updates [1], [2] and the system was back to normal. My system configuration is as follows:

Windows: Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.1992

OS Name: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro

[1] August 8, 2023—KB5029263 (OS Build 22621.2134) - Microsoft Support

[2] August 8, 2023-KB5028948 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 22H2 - Microsoft Support

 

problem with ethernet after update

KB5029263 / KB5028948 one of these updates gave me a really weird error/bug where my internet has a "delay" in activating, the speeds are fine but it takes around 10 secs to "load" anything. Ive looked everywhere but could not find a fix, im waiting for another update to see if it fixes it and my last resort would be formatting windows.

the wifi works fine its only my pc and its not the cable or router.
