My query is - I am running Win10 (upgraded from Win7) and my network card driver is v 12.10.29.0
However Intel website says the latest driver is 22.4.0.1.
I run MS Update automatically and it is not highlighting this as a problem.
System gives me this info
WIRED NETWORKING INFORMATION
Wired Networking Product Intel(R)82579 V based NetworkController (OEM)
Driver Version 12.10.29.0
The problem I have is that often (about 25% of the time) when I switch the PC on, it does not make a connection to the Router (other WiFi devices can connect through Router so I don't suspect a router problem). If I do a Restart the connection is made OK.
Should I force a driver update? And if yes, then how? Or should I just live with it??
This is all a little beyond my technical sphere, so I am hoping for some advice?
