I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Since then, my LAN connection consistently stops functioning. I'll get a yellow bang on the LAN icon, and I will be unable to browse the internet or connect to other machines on my local network. This happens inside five minutes or sometimes stays up for an hour or so but has gone down at least seven times this morning. Nothing I can see correlates in app/sys logs. IPconfig renew behaves as if the media is disconnected.
I have other computers on my home network that use the same dhcp server provided by ATT, so I know it's not a problem with my ISP. If I run the built in Windows network troubleshooter, it completely disables my LAN connection (red X), and the connection will stay disabled even when I right-click to enable it.
The only way to get the lan adapter back is to reboot. Twice the computer has bluescreened during the reboot to get the LAN back. 0x0000009f (0x0000000000000004, 0x000000000000012c, 0xffffe001c7fbf840, 0xfffff80063cf7af0).
