Windows 10 is crapping on my networking drivers!!

[gamer4717]

apparantly there was a update to windows 10 today and when it updated it started conflicting with my networking drivers on my main rig so now i cant get on the internet with it. What i have done so far is uninstall the drivers for both of my built in NICs which is one intel and one killer and uninstalled the last security update for windows 10.

This has been happening since day 1 of Win X release and the primary reason why many folks haven't upgraded. One of the "rules" we have passed on to our users is never let Windows install anything but OS fixes and install drivers only from the hardware manufacturer's web site. MS now thinks they know better and even if you install the correct driver from the hardware vendor's site, Win X will remove it and replace it with the one it likes.

Few months back was an article where MS stated that they were going to change this behavior but, as of yet, I haven't seen anything in the trades.

Thanks for replying to this. I got anxious and reinstalled my operating system so i could go back to what i was doing originally.

Since ya can't stop Windows Update from installing upgrades (can delay it with Pro), if you reinstalled 10, it won't be long before it reinstalls. Or are you saying you had Win 7 / 8, upgraded to 10 and reinstalled Win 7/8 ?

What I did was reinstalled 8.1 and upgraded back to 10. and right now it seems to be working ok

Once you upgrade and activate Windows 10, you can do a clean install of Win 10. Activation process will remember you.
