Hi,

I have update my windows 10 like 1 week a go ever since this windows 10 update happened, I have been getting a Internet error which keeps on happening which makes the yellow tr angle pooping up onto my Internet bars on my computer/PC. I did update my windows 10 onto my windows 7 like 4 months a go but this has not effected my PC since the latest update of windows 10 has happened (1 or 2 weeks ago).

I went into Device Manager and I have seen this driver called "Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller", in the Device Manager and it has a yellow tr angle around it. I have tried to uninstall it and stop it but every time i turn my PC back on it keeps on enabled again.

Also I did not install this driver "Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller", it seemed to came after the latest Windows 10 update.

I have some screen shots down below to explain it:

Solution
windows plug and play detects the network chip on your motherboard and installs the version of the driver that it has hidden in the driverstore on your machine.

when you delete the driver, plug and play runs and detects the chip again and reinstalls the driver from the driverstore (hidden on your machine)

you should go to your motherboards vendors website and update the lan (Ethernet) driver. or it the website does not provide a update then you should go to the OEM website. maybe here: http://www.killernetworking.com/driver-downloads

you can also remove the old driver from the driverstore so it does not get reinstalled.
use the pnputil.exe
