Windows 10 installed less than week, just last couple days been hard freezing (system in sig) ONLY when unattended and have isolated that these freezes kill ALL internet (Xfinity 125/12) in house. No freezing issues on Win 8.1. The PC does NOT even have wifi and is only at the end of 1 hard line coming off switch. Setup is as follows:
Motorola SB6141-->Apple Extreme 5g (wifi off)--> Trendnet 5 port switch----> All devices, including AE 6g as access point off switch as wifi for house.
At the same time as hard freezes, my wifi and hard lines would go down as well and it took several cycles of me rebooting PC, noticing internet came back, then leaving PC to freeze, internet going down - before I made the connection.
Several times now I've been able to isolate that as SOON as the Windows box freezes, the internet for the ENTIRE house goes down. Everything. As soon as I rebooted the PC, internet would come back, until Win 10 froze again.
So I left PC off all day yesterday and magically - NO internet issues.
The Win 10 freezes are irritating enough by themselves - but what in the WORLD would make it so that ALL internet goes down. Could it be some issue Comcast is sensing coming from me that is making them cut me off?
