You often will have several versions of a network driver on your machine and have to select among them to get the correct one installed.


bring up device manager,(windows start key +x then m)
find your network adapter,
right mouse click on update driver software,
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

this will bring up a list of drivers for your card.
My card currently has 9 different drivers versions on my machine to select from
even my last install i forgot to make the new driver the selected version and I just found I am running the one that is
one version old from the last time I updated.

I am guessing you just need to select the updated driver to get it to load.
 
there's only 1 network adapter in the list, so cannot choose anything else

gonna try this and see if it works, ndu was the problem and disabling it may work

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Ndu

Change the "Start" value to 4 (to disable it)

worse case scenario i'll just have to go back to windows7, will miss the fast boot but better than having 95% ram usage
 
disabling it didn't help, giving up, can't solve this shit, gonna go back to windows7 at some point, thanks a lot for your time and help john, gonna give you a best answer for your effort :)
