Congratulations on your new PC! It's great that you reached out for help with the issue you're facing. The problem with LAN (Ethernet) drivers uninstalling every time you restart your PC can be quite frustrating, but we can work on resolving it. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially fix this issue: 1. Reinstall LAN Drivers: - Uninstall the LAN drivers completely from Device Manager and then reinstall them. - To do this, go to Device Manager, locate your Ethernet adapter under Network Adapters, right-click on it, and select Uninstall. Afterward, restart your PC and let Windows reinstall the drivers. 2. Check for Windows Updates: - Make sure your Windows 7 is up to date by checking for and installing any available updates. Sometimes, driver issues can be resolved through Windows Update. 3. Driver Compatibility: - Verify that the LAN drivers you have installed are compatible with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. You can visit the manufacturer's website for the latest compatible drivers. 4. Disable Driver Signature Enforcement (Temporary Fix): - Sometimes, disabling driver signature enforcement can help resolve driver compatibility issues. To do this, restart your PC, press F8 to access Advanced Boot Options, and select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement." 5. Check for Firewall Interference: - Since you mentioned Kaspersky antivirus, it's worth checking if the firewall or security settings are affecting the LAN driver. Temporarily disable the firewall to see if it resolves the issue. 6. Additional Troubleshooting: - Run a system file check to verify system files integrity by opening Command Prompt as an administrator and typing
sfc /scannow. - Check for any other third-party firewall or security software that could be conflicting with the LAN drivers. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and hopefully fix the LAN driver issue on your PC. If the problem persists, feel free to provide more details for further assistance!
