Windows 10: Windows 10 - Ethernet Keeps Dropping and Reconnecting

Hi all,


I have a PC with a Gigabyte AX370-Gaming3 MOBO. About 2.5 weeks ago, the onboard ethernet port quit working after about 2 years of use. It no longer appears in WIN10 as a "Network Connection." Tried all the standard approaches -- updated drivers, deleted the device, it wasn't found, so had to restore to a point when it was still existing -- all without issue.


Got a USB wifi adapter NETGEAR WNA1000M N150 USB Micro and that worked fine for a period of about 5 days. Then, it went on the fritz and kept dropping internet and reconnecting. The router Linksys VELOP is within 3 feet of the computer. None of our other devices phones, tablets, TVs have any difficulty remaining connected.


Got a USB ethernet adapter TP-LINK Gigabit Ethernet USB Adapter and that worked for a couple days. Now, that keeps connecting and dropping the internet.


In Event Viewer UniversalTelemetryClient, I see Event ID 55 repeating over and over, connecting and disconnecting.


Today also my USB keyboard and mouse kept dropping and restarting. I removed the side of the case, blew out some small amount of dust, and reconnected. However, I put the keyboard and mouse in the USB 3.1 sockets and those are now working without issue.


I've done everything I can think of reinstalled drivers, updated router firmware, etc. except for flashing the BIOS. I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

:)

I just installed and plugged in a new Windows 10 Enterprise HP box into our network and it is intermittently dropping and reconnecting the Ethernet connection. It is not reliable.

OpenVPN connection causes Wifi/ethernet to drop

The problem appears to be the TAP (interpreted by my computer as an ethernet connection) stealing the connection away from my Wifi or ethernet internet connection. Then my wifi/ethernet keep reconnecting/disconnecting, but never establishing an internet
connection more than a few seconds.

The real problem is that I have no idea how to override this change in priority to maintain my Wifi connection after connecting to VPN.

Suggestions would be much appreciated!

I have a Lenovo Y580, running Windows 10.
