I've seen boards with dual gigabit lan, but never one with 4 ports

You using a server board or something???

Ok joking aside, (AND Assuming you have an install media for what I'm about to suggest) Have you tried completely disconnecting the rig from your internet? (Then throwing the whole thing out of the window? another joke)
And uninstalling ALL Ethernet and wifi drivers, including delete drivers, and restarting your rig? And re installing?

Windows 10 keeps creating these additional Ethernet connections:

I keep uninstalling them from the Device Manager, but it start creating them again. What are these things & how do I get rid of them?

 

The TAP driver is VPN related I believe (Tunnel Adapter Protocol or something.)

Ok I've uninstalled & reinstalled. I'll see if that keeps them away.

I see. Though I don't use any VPN.

I presume your network drivers are confused.  According to http://www.driverscape.com/download/tap-win32-adapter-v9 it's clear that they're outdated (v9 released in 2010).

Latest ver of v9 is from November of 2014 (I have it installed.) - https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html

Virtual machines?  I know Virtualbox installs a bunch of virtual adapters but I don't remember which.  (As far as I know all VM software does, but anyway.)

I don't have any installed currently, although I did have virtualbox installed, but uninstalled it prior to upgrading to Windows 10.

That still might be it.  VBoxes networking was a pain and why I won't ever be using it again.

I can't say I remember the best way to get rid of it, sadly.

    • I just teams to stop stealing the damn focus every time it starts or restarts after an update. Annoying as all hell.
    • Obviously new hardware costs more money. Never said you get new 2025 hardware for $266. You get new 2025 hardware for as little as $399 and only gets better with back to school sales. At the $499-699, there's some decent spec laptops with 16 GB RAM, and 1 TB SSD with better build quality than this lowest end ideapad.

    • Can you get a brand new (not refurb) device like this, but with 2025 hardware, for $266? Under $300? No? If you can, it must have the worst specs otherwise (4gb ram, 1366x768 12in lcd screen, 256gb spinning hard drive, etc.). Please show me this sub-$300 2025 laptop that is better than what the article shows.
