Hi Davy,

maybe there is a fix for your problem:

I experienced a comparable issue with 2 PCs in my company network after upgrading from Win10-1703 to 1709. On cold boot, the network adapter Intel 82579V (not LM) was not recognized, and I did not get a working network connection with internet access. With
Windows fast boot turned off, the network connection was established, but starting took a loooong time.

I found out that the network adapter was recognized as "Intel 82579LM" (and not 82579V) which caused the problem. After some research, I finally found the "Intel NVM Update Utility" here:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/do...Ethernet-PHY-Network-Connection?product=52963.

Intel says the update fixes the problem - and it did! Once installed, the network adapter was recognized, the driver installed, and the network connection was there in almost no time - even with fast boot turned on. Another positive effect was that
both PCs now only need 8 - 10 seconds to start Windows (after the hardware Information has disappeared).

Hope this also helps you fix your problem! Good luck!
