What happens:
Once I came back, it was the same thing, no internet access. What I tried:

It also seems that a few programs who try to use the network (Steam, chrome) get put into a state where they cannot be killed but still stay on the process list as active. Trying to kill them through the console results in the message:
But another programs, Waterfox for example, don't have the same behaviour.
I honestly have run out of options and have no idea what to do anymore, the only option I have left is to format it. But it's something I really don't want to do.

What happens:
■ Disabling/enabling the network adapter requires a restart to take effect.
■ [strike]Restarting results in a BSOD with the error message DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.[/strike]
■ [strike]Shutting down never properly shuts down the computer, the screen goes black but everything else stays on.[/strike]
■ Shutting down actually causes the computer to restart if the network adapter is enabled, if it is disabled it shuts down properly.
■ ipconfig /renew and /release hang forever.
■ Trying to install the driver manually hangs forever.
Once I came back, it was the same thing, no internet access. What I tried:
■ Uninstalling/installing the network drivers. (Safe mode and normal)
■ Clearing the TCP/IP stack.
■ Changed power management to performance.
■ Disabled the power management of the network adapter.
■ Disabling the firewall and antivirus.
■ Restarting the router.
■ Defining a static IP address in the windows configuration and router settings.
■ Updating to the latest Intel network drivers.
