Windows 10: What Is LAN Management in Win10 Today?

Is there a handy overview of what a LAN manager might be expected to do on a Win10 LAN in a small office environment?

:)

 

My hard drives are showing up as removable.

Your board is uefi I would check if the lan is running in uefi mode in bios.

Also check device manager for the adapter power management settings as well as wake on

parameters.

This could also be a win10 setting; how updates are set to wake the pc, fast startup, fastboot, hybrid sleep states.

Can also check if VPN or network is set to metered.

On most win10 updates, its a good thing to recheck these as the os will reset some things.

Check list; device manager, network adapters, power management, wake and sleep settings both lan and wifi.

Pc power options, wifi settings, maximum power, if usb adapter turn off usb selective state, if pcie set link state to

moderate or off.

On device manager, driver settings also check advanced tab, the device not being used set power settings to turn off the device.

Also check windows update options if wifi is set to share or metered connections.

If these steps do not work, it may be necessary to turn off the device not being used in the pc bios.

Windows will use a lan connection over a wifi connection, so if lan is connected it can cause problems, disconnect

the lan cable and reboot.

I have two pc's that use usb wifi adapters and I had to perform these steps each time win10 gets updated, so

you are not alone on these issues.
