win update realtek driver killed my ethernet?

hi,

optional windows update download for realtek network ethernet (real name too long) = so i downloaded it and installed and reboot then my internet/ethernet connection no longer worked! had to uninstall that device manaager, then use my gigabyte mobo
disc to reinstall their ethernet device, reboot, and that worked.

wonder why that recommended update didn't work?

also in "view updates" that realtek update showed, but in "uninstall updates" it did not show so I could not uninstall it there.

hmm, anyone else use that download?

also just got a bsod while using windows updates. the system log showed error - computer shut down unexpectedly, but gave no reason lol. it was evidently as surprised as me.
