Windows 10: Losing my mind trying to keep 10Gb Network running with windows 10 machines

Anyone else having issues with intel X540 network adapters in Windows 10? I have two machines that are receiving windows updates and it is a mess. Every update seems to bring a whole host of new behaviors. Mostly Network cards resetting randomly or pretending they aren't plugged in. I have tried a bunch of Intel driver versions, and eliminated the structured wiring and the switches as being part of the issue (Cable runs are tested, with patch cable attached and without, etc etc. I have three switches from three separate manufacturers and have been port hopping around to see what helps. All my linux machines use the same cards and are all rock solid on any switch).

I wish I could just walk away from Microsoft for these two machines, but some things need Windows.

Network Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 machines

I am trying to net work 2 computers, a Windows 8.1 machine and a Windows 10 machine. The network on the Windows 10 machine shows both machines, but the network on the 8.1 machines shows the Windows 10 as a media device.

Suggestions?
