I have 3 PCs in my house that I recently upgraded to Windows 10. They recommended upgrading my Killer Network drivers. Nope, Killer E2200/E2400 are integrated network controllers that come on some ASRock, MSI,.

Killer Ethernet E2200 Driver
Here is a small guide on how to get Windows to see your Killer E2200 NIC as a Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller....
the Killer E2200 NIC is actually more or less a Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 chip.
1. Download the Driver for the Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 on qca.qualcomm.com.
in the Download Sector this driver is called 'WIN_AR816X_Windows WHQL Driver V2.1.0.21' under AR816X QCA817X Family Drivers.
DDL: AR813x_AR815x_AR816x_v2.1.0.21_WHQL.zip
Source Link: http://www.qca.qualcomm.com/resources/driverdownloads/
2. after downloading the zip file, unpack it somewhere.
3. Go into Device Manager. (Right click on Computer-->Properties then on the left side under 'Control Panel Home' you see 'Device Manager'
4. When 'Device Manager' opens locale and expand 'Network Adapters', you do that by clicking on the arrow head or double click on it.
5. When 'Network Adapters' is expanded you show see your Killer E2200 NIC
6. Right click on the 'Killer E2200 NIC' and choose 'Update Driver Software...'
7. These Next steps are important so follow them carefully....
Choose 'Browse my computer for driver software'
8. Now choose 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
if you just do it as you normally with with 'Search for a driver software in this location:' you will get that 'Windows was unable to install the driver' (And no this isn't because i already have the driver installed it's because Windows see's the card as a Killer E2200 NIC):
9. Click on the 'Have Disk...' button:
and then hit the 'Browse' button, and go into where you have unpacked the driver, then find the folder called 'Common_Dri' as u can see in the picture below...
Choose the folder that matches your OS like for Windows 7 32bit u take 'Win7_32', for Windows 7 64bit u take 'Win7_64', for Windows 8/8.1 32bit u take 'Win8_32', for Windows 8/8.1 64bit u take 'Win8_64'.
11. When u find the correct inf file, you either double click on it or mark it and hit 'Open':
Then you click 'OK' here.
12. Then you get this window with a selection of drivers since this is a multi driver you get more then one, but scroll down in the window until you find 'Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)' mark it and hit 'Next':
13. Then you will get this 'Update Driver Warning' that the driver ain't verified to the hardware bla bla bla, and it can be unstable or stop working completely which it won't because it works fine...
14. Then let Windows install the driver and you will get the message 'Windows has successfully updated your driver software':
hit 'Close' and you will see your 'Killer E2200 NIC' is now called 'Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30) as shown below:
I am using this driver with my MSI Z87I Gaming AC motherboard and it works like a clam, i never had any issues with my Windows 8.1 Professional 64bit.
I decided to add the links for the Killer™ Cleaner since Qualcomm's side appearently don't exist anymore.

Killer E2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller Driver Update Windows 10 Download
Hello,
Last fall I upgraded my MSI GS70 2PE laptop from Windows 8 to Windows 10 with a clean install. There were a few speedbumps with drivers and what-else, but I got everything to work - including my Local Area Connection ethernet port.
Last month, I stopped being able to recieve an internet connection through this port, regardless of the network, after a windows update. This is frustrating because I prefer LAN for gaming and also when the college wifi network is acting up.
So if I troubleshoot this lack of connection, through the network troubleshooter, the first message I recieve is 'One or more network protocols are missing on this computer'. If the troubleshooting is attempted again, there is no result. Under additional details, it is listed that 'Windows Sockets registry entries required for network connectivity are missing.'
After some research online, these socket entries are related to the Winsock / Winsock2 registry keys. I have read people online fix my issue through applying old Windows 7 keys over the new non-functional Windows 10 versions. I attempted a similar fix, by deleting the keys and reinstalling them, and had to 'restart' (restore) windows because it ruined something in my registry.
I do not wish to mess with the registry again, not have to fully clean install windows, as I wouldn't have my computer for an extended period of time besides having to backup or lose data.
I have tried the newest drivers provided by the windows updater, as well as MSI's older windows 8 drivers, for the adapter. I have tried resetting my IP address through c-prompt. I have tried disabling IPV6, as well as a few other settings. None seem to fix my ethernet adapter. There is a permissions issue regarding these registry keys that will not allow my troubleshooter to fix them.
I am hoping that after more than a month Microsoft will patch this issue, but I am starting to doubt it.
