As the title says, I'm having a weird connection issue with Internet access using my motherboard's ethernet connection in Windows 11.
When I cold-boot the PC into Windows 11, the PC reports problems connecting to the Internet. If I then do a warm-boot and restart the PC, everything is fine and the connection is solid. I've tried updating to the most up-to-date ethernet driver, but the problem remains. I'm using all the Windows default settings, with my IP address & DNS being supplied by my ISP.
I'm using the most recent stable version of the motherboard BIOS. There is a more recent 'beta' version of the BIOS available which states that it improves Windows 11 compatibility, but I generally prefer not to use beta BIOSes, if I can help it.
Can anyone offer any help? I should mention that I don't have the problem if I connect to my router via wifi rather than ethernet cable.
