This didnt happen on windows 7 but on windows 8 when I first turn the computer on the intel ethernet card driver has error 10 on it in device manager. If I go to device manager and go to refresh hardware changes or whatever it is the driver starts to work again. I wonder if because windows 8 starts so fast compared to 7 that maybe the ethernet isnt physically ready yet before windows 8 tries to load the driver?

IMO fast boot causes more problems that it does good

Try going to Control Panel > Power Options > Choose what power buttons do > Click the box to enable changing of settings > Disable fast boot

Reboot a couple times and see if that helps

Also you could try Network Adapter properties > Disable the option to allow power savings to turn off this device

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet by Ivan Jenic The Amazon Echo Show 11 is currently $149.99 on Amazon during Prime Day, down from $219.99. That's 32% off and $70 saved on Amazon's newest mid-size smart display (purchase link below). As its name suggests, the Echo Show 11 features a 11” Full-HD touchscreen, which is a decent upgrade over the Echo Show 8. It offers 60% more viewing area, which makes a genuine difference for recipes, calendars, video calls, or any other scenario where the smaller display can feel a bit cramped. The Show 11 is built around Alexa+, Amazon's more capable AI assistant that can handle natural conversation. You can make reservations, order groceries, and find content based on your preferences, instead of always having to give it precise commands. There’s also the Omnisense technology, which adds ambient awareness, allowing the device to trigger routines based on temperature, presence detection, or visual cues. Smart home control is built in without needing a separate hub, and the home screen doubles as a photo slideshow when not in use. Taking all of this into account, the Show 11 is a perfect smart addition to your kitchen counter or living room. At $149.99, this is a strong Prime Day buy for anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem or looking to build one out. Amazon Echo Show 11 - $149.99 | 32% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      I use my devices until the very end. I used my old desktop computer for 16 years, my OnePlus 5T phone for 8 years and my LG Gram laptop for 7 years. Even though they are still working, there are no more security updates for most of them (Windows 7 ESU, Android 12 ROM and the LG Gram because I wanted an ARM based laptop).
