I recently got a new mobo, and upon installing win 10, i discovered the driver mentioned in the title (Intel(R) Ethernet Connection (7) I219-V) is not functioning properly.
It has no connection what so ever.
I have tried to update the driver in the following ways:
Mobo disc
Mobo manufacturer's site
Intels driver download site
Windows device manager
Even after the attempted updates, it still doesn't work. I have tried resetting my CMOS, and it did not have any effect.
Attempting to uninstall the driver is unsuccessful, as it automatically returns.
The LAN port itself when plugged in has LED's flashing.
The LAN controller is enabled/activated in my BIOS.
My BIOS has been flashed to the newest version.
I have windows 10 updated.
Even Intel's own driver updater doesn't do anything for me.
The error code I get from the device is:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.
The mobo in question is the MSI B360 Gaming Plus
Is it a possibility that the mobo is faulty? The board is new, and other than the described issue, it works perfectly fine.
