    Ethernet link not connecting on cold start - fine on reboot


    Since I upgraded to Windows 10 Home from Windows 7, I've noticed that from a cold boot - e.g. PC has been turned off for several hours, the Ethernet network icon has the red X through it and I dont get any internet/network access.

    It reports that the cable is unplugged. It definitely is plugged in, it goes straight into a Netgear Powerline homeplug.

    If I then reboot, it connects straight away no problem at all.

    I havent installed the motherboards LAN drivers, but thought it might be something else before I tried that?

    :)

    Win 10 Endless loop.

    The cold reboot with no Ethernet connected didn't change anything but the Media Creation tool allowed me to load a Win 10 ISO flash drive. The Tool could not upgrade my PC but the install from the flash drive went right in. BINGO!
