Windows 10: Lost my ethernet connection after windows update.

I updated windows last night and when I booted up the PC today my ethernet connection did not work. I have tested the cable with a different PC and it works on that one. So its a problem with my main computer then.I thought I should update the ethernet driver, and I deleted it because it said somewhere that when I deleted it and restarted the PC it would install it self again. I don't remember if I read it on a forum or in a setting. That does not really matter. Now I do not remember the name of the driver and I can not find the specs for my PC to what ethernet driver I should download.I have

Lost Ethernet Connection with Windows October 2020 Update

I just installed the October Update and the Ethernet connect is lost. Basically when I go to open the browser, I lose connection, actually the router (Nighthawk X10 AD7200 Smart WiFi Router) just reboots over and over.

At the same time, when the browser is open and I get the message "Your connection was interrupted" , I run the Windows Network Diagnostics I get the follow results.




System Specs
Alienware Area-51 R5 PC
Nighthawk X10 AD7200 Smart WiFi Router
Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet Controller

Here is what I've done to date:
1. Went to Dell download latest drivers, no change
2. Searched the Diagnostics error and tried those fixes
3. If I pull the Ethernet line and run on WiFi, No Problem.
4. Uninstalled the update, and the problem went AWAY!

It seems like a problem with the update, especially when I uninstall the update the problem doesn't exist but who knows.

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Windows 10 Ethernet connection randomly disconnects

Hello,

So this issue has been annoying me since i have changed my old i5-4670 with a ryzen.

Ethernet: Realtek 8111H (MSI X370 Gaming Plus)
Modem/Router: Airties Air 5760

What i have tried so far to fix my issue:

• Re-installing Windows
• Updating Ryzen chipset drivers
• Updating Realtek LAN drivers (both from MSI & Realtek)
• Updating MSI' LAN releated drivers (MSI Gaming Lan Manager)
• Replacing ethernet cable
• Restarting router to factory settings

Still no luck, keeps happening randomly. Sometimes it is stable for days then it is not stable for 20 mins. Happening when gaming or idle, or while streaming via steam link.
Windows' own issue fixer thingy fix the issue for the moment, re-plugging the cable, disabling & enabling the ethernet adapter also fixes the issue for the moment.
Also i am the only one having this issue in the network, TV and phones are still connected to wifi.

It is started to be real annoying, so time to get help to fix the issue from TPU. Thanks in advance! *I Love TPU :lovetpu:

 

Windows 10 Ethernet connection randomly disconnects

I suggest checking out the event log in Windows. It's likely going to tell you why (to some degree,) why the network connection was lost. I haven't had this issue with wired connections but, with wireless it has almost always come down to drivers or a strange software bug which boiled down to how the driver operates.
