    This happened, on July 7th. And it happened again yesterday.

    Our network card is Intel i210 1 Gigabit
    The driver for EtherCAT is Intel EtherExpressPro1000

    We can’t find the reason; but, seams W10 drops the CmpEt1000Drv and reinstalls the std driver into our card.
    I suppose W10 finds some conflict and goes for the std and known.

    Apparently this happens when the EtherCAT network has problems with startup.
    But if W10 changes the DRIVER ??? It's bad!!
    How can we secure the DRIVER?

    could you check if secureboot is enabled?
