Windows 10: network adapter doesn't load on 1st start

Hi
I've try reinstalling but still have this problem. My network adapter doesn't load on first start up but if I restart after initial start up then it will work perfectly fine.It detects Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection as well as an intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network connection.

I found this old fix for win 8 do you think I can use it on win 10 without making things worst ?

Download NVM Update Utility for Intel® 82579V Gigabit Ethernet PHY Network Connection

Thanks for any help or info

:)

 

No Networks after Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4015438).

Two days ago I downloaded the cumulative update KB4015438. It installed correctly and after restarting my laptop (ASUS S400c) it has become unresponsive and the the network adapters are not working correctly.

After signing in it takes about 4 minutes for the windows start button to respond. regular background apps do not load and there is no internet connection. Tfe wifi adapter doesn't work (Intel AC7620), the Ethernet port either.

After a day of trails and errors I found that uninstalling all of the network adapters and connecting my laptop directly to the router with a cable I managed to get internet connection but it loses it after a restart.

I need help!

Thanks

How do I set up an ad-hoc WiFi network in Windows 10?

My driver supports hosted network, but after I try and start the wlan I get the following:

The hosted network couldn't be started.

The wireless local area network interface is powered down and doesn't support the requested operation.

The adapter is on, actually.

 

Hi samurai jack.

I don't think this will make things worse. That said there is always a chance. Before doing any changes you could create a restore point and I would create an Image with a product like Macrium Reflect. Then if things go wrong you have a route back to where you are today.

If this problem is new it is likely being caused by driver update. The latest and greatest drivers are not always the way to go. Myself I would roll back driver / install an older driver if this problem is new. Before doing so always note version and manufacture of current so you know the install worked. If this resolves the problem for a period on time you will have to tell Windows to lay off the driver updates. When / if it fails after working for a period of time see if Windows installed a new version.

Again have a fallback plan that includes an Image. (Restore points are could but seem iffy.)

Hi Ken
Yes its a new problem, came during an update messed up my Nvidia settings and network, also got the "some settings are managed by your organization" bug.I have since stopped the driver update by Group Policy Editor. Thanks for your reply and help.

 

Hi
I did not do the old patch, so no kinda hoping it will fix itself out or MS wil have some kind of update

 

I would still try older driver is this started all of a sudden.

 

I have the same Network adapter, an "Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection". I didn't ever have the issue when running Win 7, however after upgrading to Win 10 I get the same problem happening sporadically on first start up. I've upgraded the drivers and it never helped.

If anyone finds a legitimate fix I'd be interested since all my searches have proved fruitless.

 

Hi Gorlath. Welcome to the TenForums @Gorlath

I see you updated driver. Did you try an older driver?

 

Not besides what was originally on the machine. The Intel site for the driver isn't very specific from what I can see about which driver you are actually downloading in a package. The newest driver I just downloaded and installed off their site appears to be a year old, even though the install package is only a month old.

I haven't got to the point where I felt motivated enough to go through the whole effort installing every one of them and noting which driver is in which install package and slowly testing them one by one.

 

Hi
Sry for the late reply, I fixed my problem by turning off Win 10 fast startup

 

Hi samurai jack. Glad to hear your situation is fixed. If you could mark thread solved others will find your solution.

So far, this solution does appear to work. I have also found that right clicking on the Network Adapter in the device manager and clicking "scan for new hardware" will re-enable the network adapter without a reboot. I plan to do some research and testing to see if a batch file could be made to do this with the quick start up feature.

 

HI

Glad it helped, for me there isn't much of a speed difference without fast startup. I can wait the extra 5 sec. to get the network working
