Windows 8.1 Keeps Disabling My Ethernet Network Adapter

I have tried enabling the adapter by going to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings. Once i click Enable, it first says Enabling followed by Enabled. But it still wont enable it even though it says that it does.
I know other people have been having these issues with WiFi, and they said that they could get on with LAN but not WiFi. I am using a desktop computer, and when I restart my computer, it works for a few minutes, but afterward, it seems as if my computer is set to disable the adapter, and not actually let me re-enable it as I mentioned above.

My driver is up to date. All my other devices are connected to the internet. I suspect that Microsoft needs to release an update to correct this, but in the meantime, does anyone know how I can overcome this?

I may have the same issue with Windows 8.1. After few hours connecting internet, it is corrupted and the connection is limited. I try to disable and then enable or plug out and in the cable, it can not be enable however. I have to restart computer to enable adapter every time. All helps are much appreciated.

Hi,

Please completely remove the adapter's driver, and install it again. Also, Does the connection comes back if you remove the adapter and install it from Device Management
