Hello,
I'm posting a message because this evening I'm struggling a bit with a driver problem. Following the latest mandatory Windows 10 update from the last few days, I'm facing an issue with my network adapter driver and I no longer have internet access.
I have disabled-re-enabled, uninstalled-reinstalled it, but nothing works.
Could a kind soul come to my aid?
Windows diagnostic information:
The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet card is experiencing driver or hardware issues. The 'Ethernet 5' card is currently encountering problems.
Information on the Ethernet 5 network adapter driver:
Description: Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
Version 17.2.1.0
Hardware ID pci\ven_14e4&dev_1677
Instance status indicators 0x1802400
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 66.0.3359.181

Hello,
What is the brand and the exact model number of the PC?
Is Windows 10 32 or 64 bits?
