Windows 10: Realtek PCIe GBE family controller no longer working after Win10 version 2004 update

My motherboard Asus P6T has an onboard Realtek PCIe GBE NIC that has been always working throughout all

different windows 10 versions, including ver. 1909.


Yesterday my machine was updated to version 2004. As a result, the Realtek adapter did not work any longer and the system

could not connect to LAN. On running the Windows network troubleshooter I was notified that there were problems with

the driver of the Network adapter. The error detail was: "Windows couldn't automatically bind the IP protocol stack to the network adapter".

The troubleshooter cannot fix the problem.

I tried to reinstall the older driver, but this did not solve the problem.

Luckily I had made a full Acronis backup of the system just before starting the update and I could restore the system to version 1909.


Any suggestion?

:)

Windows is updating my Realtek - LAN - Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller driver everyday to the same version

Hi,

There are several factors that can trigger a certain driver on your computer to update from time to time with the same version. One of these is due to system file corruption. For us to effectively assist you in rectifying the unusual activity of the Realtek
PCIe GBE Family Controller driver, we'd like to know these details:

• Did the issue happen right after you installed the Creators update? If yes, may we know how you acquired or installed the update?
  
• Is this behavior confined to the Realtek Family Controller driver only?
• What steps have you done so far to resolve the concern?

Your reply is highly appreciated.
