Adapter Broadcom Ethernet 10 update disables Windows

I recently upgrade my XPS 8100 Windows 7 to Windows 10. Since the upgrade, the ethernet adapter is periodically have disabled.  Can I use the Windows Wizard troubleshooting to re - activate the map, but the problem returned once or twice a day.  Has anyone else seen this problem and found a solution?  I'm not under any security software of 3rd - party.

I found the following instructions to install the most recent driver Broadcom 17.2.0.0, and this seems to have solved my problem.


After downloading and extracting the zipfile NetLink® /® NetXtreme I Desktop/Mobile/Server (x 64):

1. go into network settings, then click on change Map Options
2. right click on the connection device to the Ethernet/LAN and select Properties
3. click on configure and go to the tab drivers
4. click Update Driver, and then select Browse my computer
5. choose "Let me pick from a list...". "select disk
6. Locate the downloaded driver (b57nd60a.inf) and click OK
7. you will now see a long list of drivers: select Broadcom Netlink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet (about 1/3 of the way down on my list).
8. click Next and you should be good to go!

I have applied this update three days ago and my Ethernet connection worked perfectly since then. I will update this post if there are problems, but so far its looking.

  • How to disable windows update auto update the driver for that particular device

    I have a MacBook air (13 inch, mid-2012)
    I had already used a thing of Apple called "bootcamp" to partition the hard drive. Boot camp also allows you to assign which os is used with starting the computer.

    Win 8 has been installed using an iso of Windows 8 and Microsoft Windows 7 USB DVD Tool to create a bootable USB key.
    That all worked. but there is no drivers as one might expect. If the video was VGA and there was no sound, etc.
    I downloaded a zip file containing all the drivers and an installer or install the program from apple.
    BootCamp5.0.5033.zip
    I ran the installer and everything was installed and worked. He couldn't believe my luck. I've now had about pain free installed win 8.

    But a frustrating problem has developed.

    Every day or so my external screen connected by a mini display port adapter stops working. I restore the
    pilot and it starts to work. So I guess that put automatic catch up and install a new driver. It does not work, I do this back and the cycle repeats. But... why...

    I see all over the internet means to stop windows auto update all together, but this isn't what I want.

    That is the question:
    Can someone help me to tell windows update doesn't auto not only the video driver?

    Here is some info in case it would be useful to you gurus
    This driver works:
    Graphics card Intel (r) HD 4000 (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.2)
    Driver provider: Intel Corporation
    Driver date: 26/05/2012
    Driver version: 9.17.10. 2768
    Digital signer: Microsoft Windows

    This driver does NOT work:
    GPU Intel(r) HD 4000
    Driver provider: Intel Corporation
    Driver date: 12/12/2012
    Driver version: 9.17.10. 2932
    Digital signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher
    Device Manager > display... > events tab

    A waste of time this as frustrating. Now how to force it to never automatically updated only the video driver.

    Hello

    You can not disable the automatic update to a specific device.

    However, you can take control and disable the AutoUpdate for all hardware devices, which is the best option.

    Press the Windows key + X to display the System menu , and then click Control Panel.

    Select devices and printers.

    In the top section, click on icon with the name of the computer and select the Settings of Installation of the device.

    In the settings window, select No, let me choose what to do and never install driver software from Windows Update.

    Click the save changes button.

    This will prevent the hardware drivers installed by Windows Update. You will receive still all the other updates to Windows as usual.

    If a piece of hardware should be updated in the future, you can just go the site of manufacturers of equipment and download/install the latest driver or reverse these options and get the driver from Windows Update.

  • Broadcom Wireless stopped working after Windows updates

    Hello, everyone!

    I have a Pavilion dv6000 with wireless network. Everything was OK, but last Monday the blue wireless light was suddenly always amber and me did not have wireless access. These are the facts about my problem:

    * I reset my laptop to factory - wireless configuration works very well

    * Windows Update all installed, but one, updates - wireless works fine

    * I installed the new Windows Live Messenger - WIRELESS STOPED working

    * I uninstalled Windows Live Messenger - wireless works fine

    * Windows Update installed .NET Framework 3.5 (it was the update of Windows I jumped at step 2)-without WIRE EFFONDRES WORKING

    And now, my problem is that even if I try to "roll back" to a "restore point" before installing .NET, I get an error and I don't seem to be able to "Uninstall".NET 3.5. On the other hand, the pilot "Broadcom Wireless 802.11 g" has disappeared from the Device Manager and I don't seem to be able to reinstall it, or not reinstalling patches 'HP Wireless Manager' the problem.

    Can you help me, please?

    Thanks in advance,

    Nuno

    Work on laptop of my boss's son is having the same issue... I got to work by going into safe mode device manager and delete all references to pci bridge and restart... xp detects the wireless card as well as all pci bridge components and everything is golden... update XP sp3 now and go see if only the pipes still wireless card... will put in day this post when finished... im on xp, but I'm sure it would work for vista too many... questions you can email [email protected]

    Installation of XP Service Pack 3 has made clear the wireless card again... is returned in Manager mode and the security apparatus and remove all references to the PCI subsystem devices except Bus PCI and ISA standard PCI bridge and rebooted and bam wireless card is back... it is quite boring... my recommendation would be to turn the builtin wireless power off and go buy a wireless usb card and do with it...

  • Windows Update disables competing anti-virus programs

    I use Norton anti-virus for nearly a decade.  For this reason, I have not installed Windows Security, as it is in conflict.  I do every week a routine Windows Update.  Two nights ago, it looks like Windows Update automatically installed Windows security without my permission.  This has created a huge conflict with Norton anti-virus, various alerts of infection appeared and my network of connections have been disabled.  I had no choice but to do a system restore and disable Windows Update altogether.  I want to update Windows for occasional useful bugfixes, but cannot take the risk of extreme hassle of security of Windows being installed without my permission.  Any ideas?

    So far, the system restore and the sweet Norton seems to have fixed.  But he was mean.

  • The latest version of windows update disable IE8

    The last Windows Update is disabling IE, the program starts but then access the internet, I restored the system to before the update, but when the update came up again the problem came back, I just do a restore of the system for 12.10.10 and it worked. any body have tips on what to do next? can I disable windows updates?

    You see the effects of a hijackware infection. See...

    Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

    HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation option" and formatting the hard drive section of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

    NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").

    After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

    IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates>

    If you select the download updates but let me choose... option, no update will install without your approval. Suppose an update will require a reboot and does not approve the installation of an update until & unless you are ready to restart.

    You can change the setting "notify only". Once you have done this, you will need to approve the updates are downloaded updates are installed commandeLorsque, which they are installed.

    I prefer "Notify only" setting.

    What are the differences between Windows updates and automatic updates from Microsoft Updates?

    While Windows Update provides updates specifically for Windows, Microsoft Update expands the service to download and install updates for other Microsoft software, such as Microsoft Office and Windows Live [as well as Silverlight & Microsoft Security Essentials]. Update automatic is a feature that allows you to configure your PC to automatically download and install updates using each service, making it easy and convenient for you to keep your current Windows PC.

    Source: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/windowsupdate/FAQ.mspx>

    If you disable Microsoft Update, your default update source is "reversed" update of Windows, but it does NOT neutralize automatic updates.

    Hi Tedwards78,

    Windows updates are important for your safety and reliability of computers. Microsoft does not recommend disabling updates.

    You can hide some updates which you don't want to install but, disable windows update is not wise.

    These links could be useful.

  • How to really disable Windows 7 updates

    In Windows 7, my Outlook stops working every time the computer updates. I tried to reinstall Outlook, nothing helps. Then I disabled updates. Annoyingly, although updates are completely disabled, my computer still updates frequently, and I now restore the system to 2 - 3 times a week just to be able to use Outlook.

    I would like to know if there is a way to disable really all the updates in Windows 7.

    Also, if anyone else knows Outlook failures with updates, is there a solution?

    Bubbaloop,
    I agree with Palcouk and think there is something more grand underway.  The first thing you should look into is the possibility of infection virus\malware.  Take a look at these items for some great information:

    It worked.  Thank you!

    I wasn't able to get automatic updates to download a microsoft windows update.  The fix for microsoft in default mode indicated that he needed to be repaired and that fixed it.  When windows update was used again the update has failed once again.  The fix even that it was then run in aggressive mode and with a recheck has failed to correct the problem.  At each restart, automatic updates took the time to start producing a yellow shield and then pop-up reminders.  So thank you to help us with these questions to disable the automatic updates of windows.
