1. Disable Microsoft driver updating. How is on the web.
2. Go get the driver for your adapter and install that.
Do not let Microsoft update drivers. Also I read you updated the driver but didn't see details about how you did this. The Microsoft drivers tend to be broken in this area. The fix is as above and what I've done dozens of times now. For some they give up and install a new network card.
I upgraded to windows 10 a week ago. Sense my network adapter disconnects and reconnects constantly while downloading. Its fine when streaming and playing games on the highest available quality.
I have turned off the option to save energy on the network adapter, changed my power settings to highest performance and updated my network drivers to the most recent stable version.
Its starting to get really annoying as downloads are taking much longer then they should with my speeds.
Im using a TP-Link usb adapter and I never once had an issue on Windows 7 with it.
Also sometimes when the network adapter disconnects I also loose use of my mouse and keyboard for a couple of seconds..
Windows 10 is also updated to the most current version.
Any suggestions to fix this issue would be highly appreciated.
