Windows 10: My network connection failed because of "driver or hardware related problems"

When I booted my system my network connection was shut off. When I selected troubleshoot it said "Intelrl211 gigabit network connection adapter is experiencing driver or hardware related problems." My computer was really loud, like the cpu fan was spinning at max rpm while this was happening. I powered off and on my computer and I still got the issue. I powered it off and on again and now I don't have the issue as of the typing of this question. I don't know if this problem will appear again but in case it does I am asking what is causing this problem and how to fix it?

After upgrading from Windows 7 I get the above message when trying to connect to the internet. If I restart desktop I then can connect to the internet as normal. Any solution to connect as normal without the reboot.

I have installed the Intel Driver Update Utility, it says all is normal.

Hi Nell,

For you to be able to perform the troubleshooting steps above, we suggest connecting your computer via a wired connection.

However, if the wired connection is not available, we suggest using other device in manually downloading the driver from your manufacturer's site and transfer them via USB Flash drive.

We also suggest the answer of SpiritX MS MVP on this
thread. It has information on how to solve internet connection issue.
