Intel Ethernet Connection (7) I219-V on Z390 motherboard
Why does Windows 10 v1809 not include inbox LAN drivers for Intel Ethernet Connection (7) I219-V on my new ASUS Z390 motherboard. I have a Windows 10 Pro retail USB drive which contains v1809 and after a clean install it prompted me to connect to Wi-Fi even when the LAN cable is connected so it can download the LAN driver from Windows Update and connect via Ethernet. Why does that happen? If I skip Wi-Fi during OOBE I'm then missing the LAN driver and can't download it from Windows Update without first connecting to Wi-Fi. Clean installing the v1903 update does not have this issue as it includes all of the Intel Ethernet Connection I219-V PID's but requires that I have another USB drive or DVD already made.
