Win 10 no internet secured drivers#

You get issues with power management on the default driver too, as you can't disable power management on the NIC until you run a proper realtek/HP driver. We could leave the driver alone I suppose, but I can't imagine this is sensible. As soon as you roll back to that 2015 driver, you're good.

Win 10 no internet secured drivers#

But as soon as you update the NIC drivers from HP (note, 3 different versions across multiple different machines is more than enough troubleshooting to rule out a specific driver surely) but once it happens, it doesn't seem to go away until you apply the workaround - and that is, uninstall the driver, and go back to the default microsoft driver from (I assume) when Windows 10 first shipped. It doesn't happen right away, as the default driver is an MS driver from 2015. This happens whether from an image, or from the HP build. But not only annoying, it stops O365 products, they report no connection so are not available properly.

The (wired, we don't have wifi internally to test) network connection shows a yellow exclamation mark with 'no internet access' next to it. The fact is, they are all HP Prodesk/Probook machines, and all seem to use Realtek network adapters. Some machines develop the error at some point soon after rolling them out, there is seemingly no solid pattern, but it's happened to nearly all of them. Since moving to Windows 10 Pro (straight to 1709), we've had this on nearly all our machines.
