NIC not detected from cold boot Windows 10

[bondbill2k2]

Having a rather strange issue, we have rolled windows 10 to several different devices but one model is proving difficult, around 15 STONE 1210 computers. We have the smaller size version from STONE and a few versions of Intel NUCs with no issue.

 

When booted from cold no NIC is detected, logging on locally the NIC doesn't appear in the network adaptors menu and device manager shows it however when looking in properties the latest Intel driver says uninstalled or not available. 85% of the time when I reboot following the first cold boot it picks up the NIC straight away.

 

I've installed the latest's Intel 82579 drivers to see if this resolved the issue (drivers previous downloaded from STONES website) but no difference. NIC was set to not sleep, BIOS has no generalise fast boot etc enabled either.

Do these units have SSD drives, and therefore booting up quickly??

Could this be a service delay issue (delay in components starting up and not configuring the NIC properly). Interesting that a reboot (warm startup) the NIC appears.

 

Possible service change...

Netman (Manual to Auto) - although this doesn't really explain why the NIC is not fully functional in device manager.
