Windows 10: Microsoft updates are computer killers

It seems Microsoft remotely kills computers by forcing updates. The only reason for this could be to increase profits. I had to restore / reset my laptop many times in the last 2 months. Every time the laptop restores its health but then MS forces another update and it stops responding. Setting my Internet connection to metered mode hasn’t helped. Last update seems to have removed my restore point ! Don’t know what to do ... I guess it’s time to shift to Apple.

Guide: Turn your Killer E2200 NIC into Qualcomm Atheros AR8161

Basically I right click on the Killer Network Adapter in Device manager > Uninstall > Check the box to DELETE driver for this device

Then you won't have a relevant network adapter listed. So you have to add a new device, and I just followed the instructions listed in this thread... does that help?

I'm just waiting for evga to list them for a step-up! Looks killer fits.

 

No internet (Killer E2200) after update Windows 10

Hello Morasder,

I am the official support for Killer Networking.

Unfortunately, this seems to be more of a Windows Update issue than an issue with the Killer Drivers, and it's not related to the Killer Suite at all. The issue is that, when Windows updates to the fall creator's update, something disconnects between the
driver and the OS, causing this error. This is evident by the fact that rolling back always fixes the issue, and that many people are using these same drivers on the Windows Fall Creator's Update without any problems.

You already have ready my knowledge base article on the subject. I suspect that the ultimate fix will come in a later Windows update. For now, though, I do have a theory on what might help, but I have yet to get much confirmation, and I have not been able
to duplicate the issue enough to know for sure. I will share my idea with you, though, and hopefully it will help you.

My idea is that stripping the driver down to the "inbox" driver, or the driver that is preinstalled with Windows, then allowing the update, should result in a healthy Ethernet adapter and connection. Then you should be able to update to the latest driver.
Here are the steps:

• Download the latest Killer Control Center from here - https://www.killernetworking.com/driver-downloads/item/killer-control-center-x64 - for later installation.
• Right-click Start
• Click Apps and Features
• Uninstall everything "Killer", including "Killer Performance Driver Suite" and any variations. This will also include the Killer Network Manager. Literally anything with "Killer" in it.
• Restart your machine by clicking Start > Power > Restart
• Right-click Start
• Click Device Manager
• Double-click Network Adapters
• Right-click your E2200 and click Uninstall device
• Put a check in the box for Delete the driver software for this device if it appears.
• Click Uninstall
• Click Action > Scan for hardware changes. The E2200 should reappear.
• Repeat steps 9-12, but only for as long as Delete the driver software for this device appears. Each time you do this, you are deleting a previously installed driver. We want them all gone. Once there i no option to
  Delete the driver software for this device, move on to step 13. The E2200 will likely always reappear, and that is fine, as it is just reinstalling the default driver.
• Restart your machine by clicking Start > Power > Restart
• Allow the Fall Creator's Update to go through. In your case, take your connection off of "Metered" and then check for updates, and it should go through.
  
• Hopefully the E2200 will be working when it comes out the other side. At that point, you can install the latest Killer Control Center package, and be good to go.

Please let me know if this works for you. I'm trying to get some further confirmation before I add it as a definite fix on our KB. You can contact me directly at *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. Also contact me if this doesn't work, as I have a few other ideas.
