Hello Rick,

We understand the inconvenience you have experienced.

What is the make and model of your computer?

From the description, I suspect that the problem lies with the incompatible network drivers. Suggest you to check and install latest network drivers from device manufacturer website. You can search them using your device model number. To fix this issue, follow the below mentioned troubleshooting steps and check if they helps.

Method 1:

Update the Network drivers through Device Manager manually and check if this helps.

a) Open run command by pressing Windows key + R and type “devmgmt.msc” (without quotes) and hit Enter.

b) Spot and expand the “Network Adaptor”.

c). Right click on the network driver and select “Update Driver Software”. When it prompts to choose an option How do you want to search driver, then go with Search automatically for updated driver software. If you have a driver available on your PC, then select Browse my computer for driver software, then select the appropriate location, where the driver located on your PC for updating it. (Ensure that PC is connected to Internet while performing this step)

d). Once this is done, restart the computer to check the problem fixed. If it doesn't fix the issue, then Right click on the same driver and select “Uninstall” then restart the system and let the system install the driver automatically on Start. Check and see if it resolve the issue. (Recommended step)

Method 2:

Try installing latest drivers in compatibility mode. Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows. Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.
