Intel 82579V integrated gigabit network adapter

All,

My integrated nic stopped working after windows 10 upgrade. The newest drivers from the Intel site does not fix the issue. I even tried the drivers for 8.1, 8, and Windows 7. None of them work. Nic is integrated into a Maximus IV Gene-Z motherboard. Nic will not connect to the Internet. Upgraded to Windows 10 from a Windows 7 install where the nic was working without issues.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi Meph,

Thank you for contacting Intel.

When you upgrade to Windows* 10, have you tried the inbox (default) driver available in Windows 10?

Sincerely,

Sandy

Sandy,

Yes, that's what is weird. The nic worked right after the upgrade from Windows 7 then stopped working a few days later. I have tried uninstalling the driver from Intel and rebooting and letting Windows 10 install it's driver, but it still does not work.

Thanks,

Meph

Hi Meph,

I see. We have released 2 driver versions for Windows* 10 recently. They are versions 20.1 and 20.2. Have you tried both versions?

In case these versions didn't work, we suggest to contact your motherboard manufacturer for assistance.
