    Since I upgraded to W10, the Audio Service and internet connection both keep crashing. Randomly.

    My computer is the only one hard-wired to the router. We have others and none loses their signal. I made sure to try wi-fi on and off, no difference. Tried a different cable.

    The Audio service crashing is much more annoying. It happens every 15 minutes. Everytime, I can restart the service like if nothing happened.

    I tried to update drivers, disable / uninstall every listing in the Audio controllers (device manager). I have NVIDIA, Realtek and Logitec Webcam 500 High Definition Audio.

    Audio service keeps crashing, no matter what.

  3. Dell XPS 8500 upgrade from Win 8.1 Pro to Win 10 Pro

    Hi Andy,

    I have to say that XPS 8500 and XPS 8700 have different net adapters and controllers for Lan and WiFi.

    There are drivers for Windows 10 in XPS 8700. Dell got them.

    The problem is that Dell and Realtek didn't make the same for XPS 8500.

    You can't use the same drivers in XPS 8500 than in XPS 8700.

    Thanks for your comments!

    Best regards,

    Rafa

    So far the culprit is *tadam*; Microsoft Security Center.

    Now disabled and back with Avast.
