What version of Windows 10 did you install? Enter winver from a run box and post a screen capture. Should look similar to this:
Is this the driver you downloaded from here: Support for H110M Gaming
I installed 1511.
Your url is broken so I'm not sure what driver you're referring. But here's the link of the driver I installed:
Support For H110M GAMING | Motherboard - The world leader in motherboard design | MSI USA
---- EDIT----
Yes its the same link and therefore same driver.

Hi zbook,
That did it! After resetting the cmos and rebooting, win 10 automatically installed my drivers including network drivers. It works perfectly now.
But since I did manage to install 1 or 2 drivers before resetting the cmos, including a network driver that was half installed, do you think I should clean install again to make sure nothing will haunt me in the future as a precaution?

That's great.
If it will give you the comfort and satisfaction definitely as it is easy to perform as there was just a recent clean install.
This way there are no would have, could have, should have, etc.
Please comment on the reason for choosing 1511 as compared to 1607, 1703, 1709, 1803, 1809.
What modifications are you planning to make so that it remains 1511 and there is no automatic upgrade?
1) Make another clean install
2) Install all drivers from the computer or motherboard manufacturers website
3) Install any other drivers that are needed and were not displayed from the component manufacturer website
4) Check the BIOS to make sure that it is up to date
5) Install applications
6) Install AV
7) Make a Macrium backup image and save the image to another drive or the cloud
It is never a good idea to interrupt Windows upgrades as unexpected problems can occur.
When performing Windows upgrades the best method is using a Windows 10 iso and performing an in place upgrade repair.
This is not in having a successful upgrade as much as it is in have information in case there is a failure to upgrade.
When there is a failure to upgrade there can be two error codes: result code, and extend code
The method using upgrade assistant generally only produces the result code whereas using the Windows 10 iso allows the creation of the extend code. The combined codes give a little more information in case there is an upgrade failure.
It has many Windows versions to catch up to. There may be many files that need to be installed before other files.
If the upgrade fails then perform the following steps:
1) Create a bootable Windows 10 1809 iso:

2) Perform a clean install with the Windows 10 1809 iso:
