If you guys who are having this problem will take my advice and install a driver (Microsoft or RealTek) manually through the Device Manager--instead of using an exe install or relying on the Troubleshooter, you'll find that your 2.5GB NIC no longer loses connection or loses the Gateway. I had both problems--this solved them, permanently. Takes all of five seconds to do it...

The driver versions don't seem to matter--I installed a Microsoft driver from 2015 manually--and it is rock-stable--when manually installed through the DM. It's the method of installation that matters, I've found. Apparently, something is broken in the automatic install function in Windows in certain hardware configurations for the RealTek NIC drivers.

@waltc,
Still would be nice to know which drivers area failing, given that not everybody with a Realtek Ethernet has this problem.

Interesting. Settings is not refreshing. TIWorker is running though.

Attachment 321807

Well that was weird. It eventually came back with the check for updates button. No restart request but I restarted anyway and it sat on a blue Updates are in progress do not turn off your device. Eventually it got to the login screen with no update progress and seems to have updated according to Winver.

Just updated to 21327.1010. Interestingly, it went quite fast on my 2012-vintage Lenovo X220 Tablet (under 5 minutes from start to finish) and took about three times as long on my 2018-vintage Lenovo X380 Yoga (especially for the post-GUI install for whatever odd reason: it just churned and churned).

Go figure! But it's all done now...

Gigabyte's H81M Onboard realtek NIC seems to be affected. Manually installing the driver DID help. And that is NOT EVEN INSIDER! That is a stable rig!

This is a 2015 driver and I was able to pull an identification string that actually suits many NIC controllers:
rt640x64.sys

Now this baby needs manual installing. Thanks for the tip

Getting it now...

Very quick. No countdown numbers with reboot screen, just a message telling you to keep computer on.

An update that does nothing but it still force a reboot!

Scan time for windows security too long. Over 5 minutes for 500 gb ssd with little more than operating system on it. On other drive, same computer, took 2 minutes for a 500 gb ssd with lots of files and programs
