Anniversary upgrade is coming on July 2th

Did you mean the 20th?

& Okay I can finally start to turn this into more of a brainstorming session rather than you just telling me what to do! I am back at my desktop for a good while now so we should be able to figure out a solution :)

Yes, that could be causing issue, since default config is changed.

Yes. This. Once I realized that whenever I tried to do the normal startup; it was not actually normal -_- .... It took me about 5 reboots then after the second to last one, I checked msconfig before I shut it down, then click the normal startup (followed by another restart) the first thing I did when the pc rebooted was check msconfig, and sure enough it was back on the essential startup or whatever its called. So... found the .exe inside of the C:\windows directory and changed the admin properties for all users.

That didn't work and now I am going to change the policies as you have suggested. But, that is a lot of registry code.... I just needed to double check with you that that's what you want me to do

Really appreciate all the help by the way. I have HAD it with this bull****

Yea it didnt help

Vodka has made me do much worse than that before. :)

@hammer280, before you install the driver, please let me know what the device manager says, we may try something else first.

Well it was what you said, obviously. "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controler" driver date is way back in April of 2015............ Version number is 9.1.402.2015

Thanks again for all of your help everyone.

Did you install the new driver and did it work? Inquiring minds would like to know. :)

I just restarted the computer after an administrative install of the driver. Aaaaaaaaand this happens STILL... I'm getting irritated.
