    Then something is wrong, paste the code here (use the spoiler function to avoid huge messages) and paste the actual pid and vid of your card

    Well, you can see by yourself that your exact card isn't listed in the inf, just fix it

    I did the modified inf above works great. It shows 82579V driver available for install.

    Now I see you included the generic

    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1503

    This obviously works, but was hard to spot with the obfuscated paste you posted earlier.;)

    :eek:

    There is nothing to do for most setups, aside disabling the shutdown tracker, the password security and so on. 30 seconds using the MSC

    Few drivers need a small tweak, 5 minutes. If you need the BT just install the thoshiba stack. That's all.

    Nothing to do with trobles seen on older servers

    I have added EDGE from Microsoft-Windows-Internet-Browser-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.14393.0.cab (and langpack).
    Have installed Adobe-Flash-For-Windows-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.14393.0.mum and Adobe-Flash-For-Windows-onecoreuap-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.14393.0.mum with DISM
    Now Flash works in IE11 - only 32-bit from (x86 folder). Flash doesn't work on EDGE or IE11 (x64). How can I make it work on my WS2016?
    No Flash haters, please ))
