Windows 10: Lost audio and ethernet connection after installing windows 10.

I have a desktop PC with a Gigabyte X58 motherboard and Realtek audio and ethernet apps. The first thing that happened is the Realtek HD audio manager box kept coming up and I could not stop it. I deleted the audio app and it stop popping up, until I did a restart. Then it started popping up again. I went to Realtek's website on another computer and downloaded new drivers that included windows 10. That corrected the problem only if I shut down the computer - a restart will bring the problem back. The big issue is that the ethernet connection is not recognized. And Realtek does not have a windows 10 driver upgrade. I tried the windows 8 and the windows 7 drivers. They didn't work. Wouldn't you think windows 10 would have generic drivers that could use and just delete Realtek's. The ethernet port is pretty basic. This has been my worst experience with a windows upgrade.

Any ideas? Microsoft doesn't seem to have any.

No Internet Connection At All Upon Switching to Windows 10

I lost connection through wifi/ethernet after installing Win 10. I am currently back to 8.1. Do you try the fix above in .8.1 or 10?

 

Loss of Ethernet connectivity after update.

I lost the use of my Ethernet connection after the automatic critical update to my Windows 10 of two days ago. My wireless connection still worked. When I restored my system to pre-update status, my Ethernet connection was restored. I assume at some
point soon the automatic update will occur again. What do I do to prevent the loss of my Ethernet connectivity?
