Hello chemcup

This is a known issue with windows 10 and it's related to the lan driver. There is nothing wrong with your pc, just ignore it until Intel or Asus releases a fix for it.

Hello, thought I just found a way out.
I have installed the driver manually pointing to this directory :
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\D2999FDC-F09B-4F60-9394-3CD81D1D1EB6_x64\Win7
So a new (hidden) peripheral has appeared (Intel(R) Technology Access TAP Driver (NDIS 6.0)).
For information my motherboard is a Asus H97M-E with Realtek network chip, not Intel. And I don't think it has something to do with IME either.
Greetings.

Thanks men, I solved this by that way. Anyway, you have to point the driver path to ProgramData, and it's subfolders and this find the driver in any folder. Good solution.

Yes you are right, there are several nettap60.inf in there. The one in C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\D2999FDC-F09B-4F60-9394-3CD81D1D1EB6_x64\Win10 should be more appropriate. Pointing to ProgramData is a better idea.

Cheers but it was this location on mine as D2999FDC-F09B-4F60-9394-3CD81D1D1EB6_x64 wasn't there:
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\B21BE5BF-D0EE-452F-A5E0-8241A3D02E02_x64\Win10
