When I hibernate or turn off/on my Windows 10 PC, the NIC stops working

As the title states, every time I turn on my PC (or wake it up) I won't be able to connect to the Internet.



I have had this problem for quite some time and the only solution I have found so far is to disable and enable again the hardware component itself through the Control Panel.



The NIC in question is a Killer Networking E2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (which is onboard, so I can't physically replace the part). Drivers are up-to-date, but the problem persists even with new updates.



Is there a way to fix this? Or, alternatively, a way to tell Windows to automatically disable/enable the NIC on startup?

  • I had the same problem when I originally upgraded my old laptop to Windows 10 a few years ago. After doing some research online, I found that if I disabled Fast Startup, the problem disappeared.

  • I'll look into this, but wouldn't that fix the problem only when turning the PC off rather than hibernating it?

  • Yes, that's potentially true, but probably still worth trying.

  • It seems to work both on power off and hibernating, but I'll have to test it for a few more times before being entirely sure. For the time being thanks a lot!
