I would start by seeing if there is an updated driver for your NIC. A reset removes the NIC from device manager and re-adds it with the defaults and re-installs the driver, so I'd suspect either a flaky driver or potentially the hardware may be the problem. Start with the driver though.

Does the troubleshooter tell you what it fixed each time and is it the same thing?

Windows says I have the lastest driver. I have gone on the Intel site and they tell me the N>I>C is obsolete It’s a Intel R Pro/wireless 3945ABG. I think I will order a USB one. Thanks for your help

Yeah that's a pretty old card, it's possibly not designed for Windows 10
