Windows 10: Windows 10 Pro Ethernet Adapter Does Not Retain DHCP Settings

The laptop computer is attached to a corporate domain. The DNS servers are providing DHCP settings. After logging onto the network, there is NO IPV4 address assigned despite DHCP enabled. Using ipconfig command, the setting is an obscure IP address 169.254.211.68 Subnet 255.255.0.0. Using the Device Manager I disable the adapater, perform a scan, then DHCP IP settings are set correctly.

Search on Google says:
It's a IPv4 link local address, as defined in rfc3927. Usually ZeroConfig/Bonjour/mdns et al enabled boxes are setup to have IPv4 ll address to enable (home) networking without the presence of an DHCP or unicast DNS server.

How does one kill this?

WiFi settings not retained

My WiFi adapter is a Realtek RTL8188CU Wireless LAN 802.1n USB 2.0 Network adapter Version 1027.4.630.2015. Windows 10 Pro does not retain the settings for my Wireless router and password, so I have to put in the settings every time I start up. I have
put the data in the "Add Networks" and ticked the retain password and the connection is made. Connect automatically is also ticked, but every time I start up I have to re-enter the password.

 

Lose Internet Connection after PC Sleeps

I have a DELL XPS Desktop running Windows 10.

Since the Windows updates KB3199986 and KB3197954 on 10/28/2016, every time my PC goes to "sleep" when I wake it up I have the yellow caution sign on my ethernet icon and I am unable to connect to the internet. I have the newest FIOS BHR-4/G1100 router,
which is working fine. It does NOT lose its connection to the network. The WiFi also stays on.

The error message I get is that there is no TCP/IP Configuration. I click on change adapter settings for the ethernet adapter, step through (don't change anything) the TCP/IP configuration windows (DHCP, DNS, WINS) and then
it comes back.

Its as if the local DHCP is not working or I am losing my network configuration and when the PC wakes it cannot reconfigure.

I have updated power settings NOT to turn off the ethernet adapter when it goes to sleep.

As long as I am working my connection is fine. The minute the PC goes to sleep it is gone. Verizon claims not their problem. I'm not sure what to do next.

 

Bonjour usually causes a lot of networking issues. If you have it, try uninstalling it.
