X550-T2 adapter fails after updating driver to version 29.4 on Windows 11

MarKrok · ‎11-23-2024

Never had a problem with the excellent X550-T2 adapter, until the Wired_driver_29.4_x64 update. This installs version 4.1.260.0, according to the driver properties.

Device Manager in Windows 11 shows yellow triangles. There is no Internet. I tried the following:

- winsock reset

- int ip reset

- ipconfig /release -> /flushdns -> restart PC

- a full network reset under Advanced network settings.

No dice.

Win11 network diagnostics did not help either.

What did help was rolling my PC back to version 29.3. PC is running flawlessly again.

My system: Windows 11 Pro (23H2, OS build 22631.4460, Asus Z690 BIOS 4002)

Any suggestions what else I can try? Is this a bug in the driver? Let me know! Thanks.

I am having the exact same issue also on a Gigabyte X570 Auros Master with an AMD 3900X running Windows 11

Reverting to the previous driver fixed the issue.
