Appears to be a driver problem though I tried the most up-to-date Realtek driver (Version 10.38.118.2019 dated 18th Nov 2019) to no avail. Lose both wifi and LAN access. In looking through the web it seems the update is certainly not leading edge and network issues were caused before with certain types of PCs (particularly portables/tablets) though these appear to have been 'solved' from what I can see. Happens each time Windows tries to update to the point where I have stopped the Windows Update Service and disabled it. Won't go back there until somebody can show me a way to get through the update with working access to the networks. There seems to have been a newer version that solved some of these earlier issues but if one cannot access the newer update due to an inoperable network I'm not sure what use such a 'workaround' really is.
System consists of a Fujitsu Notebook SH772, certainly not a common PC but it was one of the first ultra-portable lightweight machines at the time (2011 or 2012, I think). Getting to the point of getting another but loathe to do it immediately and it looks like Fujitsu, in their wisdom, no longer support it for drivers or the like and in fact, though the serial number is recognised by their software, it just aborts on the next 'update' step. Shame it they were better at support I would get another new machine as this one has been a reliable workhorse. The only really good support was with a battery issue where they replaced the battery free of charge, shipped to Europe, when it failed after 4-5 years of use due to a general recall of said items.
balance of system:-
Samsung EVO 1Tb hard drive, no DVD/CD, otherwise stock standard.
Intel i7-3520M @ 2.90GHz
16Gb RAM
running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Software
Windows 10 1809, build 17763.1039
Current Drivers:-
Network
Intel Centrino Advanced -N 6205 (version 15.18.0.1)
Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller (version 10.38.118.2019)
A whole list of WAN Miniports whose drivers are "the best driver for your device".
nothing else appears to be related to the issue but then may be.
Anybody have the same issue? Or had the issue and managed to overcome it? Thought this was best in 'Drivers' but could equally go in 'Networking' or 'Windows' or 'Updates'
