When I hibernate or turn off/on my Windows 10 PC, the NIC stops working
I had the same problem when I originally upgraded my old laptop to Windows 10 a few years ago. After doing some research online, I found that if I disabled Fast Startup, the problem disappeared:
- Press + X
-
Select Power Options
-
Select Additional power settings on the right
-
Select Choose what the power buttons do on the upper-left
-
Select Change settings that are currently unavailable
-
Scroll to the bottom of the window and uncheck the box associated with Turn on fast startup
Click the button to Save changes
- Reboot your system
