Thanks for the reply. Did 2 scans at Trend Micro. Some malware detected
and removed. Did not fix error message. I googled the message and found out
that disabling "Windows Driver Foundation-user-mode Driver Framework" in
services.msc got rid of the error message, but did it fix the problem? I
tried to re-enable the service just to see what would happen. Message stated
it could not start because a device was not working. This could be the
reason why the error occurs at startup. Seems coincidence that I was
fiddling with the services when this started. Can't help but think the
problem is with the Driver Foundation service or a bad onboard LAN adapter.
Could this be related to the bad onboard LAN adapter. I have disabled the
adapter since I installed a new Netgear adapter. (This was done before the
error message occurred.)
What is the Driver Foundation service used for?
Thanks again.
