Teaming I210 with I218-LM on Windows 10 Pro 20H2 OS Build: 19042.1568

[GMon]

Hello everyone, 

My organization has been running Windows updates, getting workstations from:

Windows 10 Pro

Version 1903

OS Build 18362.900

To

Windows 10 Pro 20H2

OS Build 19042.1568

We have two workstations out of 10 that have received the latest update, which in turn broke Teaming. 

These workstations are, "HP Z840 Workstation"

Each workstation has the same two NICs: I210 & I218-LM

The other 8 workstations are still on Windows 10 Pro version 1903, OS Build 18362.900.

We cannot move forward with updating these machines as we know that NIC Teaming will break. However, this is a security risk we also cannot afford. 

I need assistance or the step by step guide on how to get NIC Teaming back up and running on these two workstations with the latest Windows update.

Reversing the update is not optional. Updating the OS on our workstations in the future will continue, including upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11. 

I do hope that moving forward Intel doesn't submit us to these limitations. 

Note: I have downloaded the latest driver pack from Intel, but have not attempted installation just yet. I will try to find the step by step guide on the installation process for this. 

Edit: One of the two workstations has been updated to 22H2, I'm hoping the driver pack v29 resolves the NIC Teaming issue on this workstation as well.

Also, as a back up plan, I'd like to have a copy of Intel® Network Connections Software 24.3.0.6.

Does Intel not keep an archive of older drivers? I want to have a backup copy of 24.3.0.6 incase there's any problems post installation of v29.

Hello, 

This thread can be closed. The latest driver set v29 allows us to NIC Team on Windows 10 Pro 22H2.
