multiple issues starting with dns and netio.sys in Windows10

Hello,

I just got a new Asus laptop with windows 10

1. I did full updates from Microsoft windows10 updates and later realized maybe I should have updated Asus hardware drivers first. Now I am having BSOD issues & netio.sys errors forcing me to reboot at least twice so far. Since then I’ve not had this issue so far.
2. I shutdown my laptop everyday. I just noticed from task manager and confirmed in cmd prompt commands my laptop is running for several days. Wondering if this is normal or a setting somewhere or related to issue 1. ?
3. I was having slow internet issues – rebooted modem , no help. Then I found out I had to flushdns , etc and so far no more issues. Is this also related to issue 1. ?

Should I do a factory reset ? Everything is up to date and I've scanned for viruses and its clean. Please advice. Thank you

Welcome to the forum. What version are you running type winver in the search box

win ver 1903 OS build 18362.592

The latest is 1909 do all updates first as they may be bug fixes that cure your problems

ok thank you. Running updates now.

Is this a 'refurbished' or actually 'new' laptop? You said you did all updates, but what were the updates you installed?

Its a brand new laptop. I updated from "updates & security" from the settings. After that I updated the hardware drivers from Asus. After that I realised I should have done it the other way round. Anyway after updating last night my ver is now 1909 . so far so good **but** my task manager still says the laptop is running since last night even tough I shut it down. I noticed the restarts did reset the uptimes to zero which is good. So I'm wondering if this is "normal" and if its a settings issue ?
