Not sure if this is my hardware starting to get a bit long in the tooth or is a W10 issue, but every time I start up my computer now since upgrading to W10, the network adaptor is dead.

It comes back to life on a restart, but that takes a heck of a long time to do to.

I did see a thread about people having the same issues but on W7 and have tried the fix they suggested, but has not made any difference.

Anyone any ideas as to what is occurring and how to resolve it?

had similar problem after upgrading to 10 from 8.1 only way I could sort it was by reformatting and reinstalling 8.1 then upgrading to 10, this was with ethernet connection

Any power-saving options switched on for Ethernet particularly in the BIOS? It could be effected by Windows' semi-hibernation for fast boot.

Have you turn on the 'High Performance' power setting?

Also, have you installed the latest drivers for the NIC card? Do you know exactly what it is at all?
