- Intel Bluetooth Drivers (Drivers Only) :
Install/Update Process :
- Press Windows key + X > Device Manager > Right-click on your Intel Bluetooth device > Update driver > Browse my computer for driver software
- Browse... > Select the extracted drivers folder (BT_Intel_v...) > Check the Include subfolders option > Next
OS requirements : Windows 10 64 bit or more recent.

TIPS :
If you want to manage the drivers (remove old/unused drivers for example) that you have in your Windows DriverStore
Use Driver Store Explorer (Right click on "Rapr.exe" > Run as administrator).
If you want better interrupts delivery latency
Enable MSI (Message Signaled-based Interrupts) mode on all your supported devices (see the column "supported modes") with
MSI Mode Utility (Right click on "MSI_Mode_Utility_v3.exe" > Run as administrator).

I have an Asus Maximus XII Extreme w/ an Intel I225-V REV 2 and wanted to share an observation that might help people experiencing link issues or packet loss.
After I updated the the firmware to V1.45, I updated to the 1.0.1.4 driver and I wasn't having any issues.
Recently, I noticed the 1.0.1.8 driver was released so I updated my driver and started seeing around 5% packet loss.
The difference between 1.0.1.4 and 1.0.1.8 is the older driver did not auto-negotiate EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) and was disabled, whereas 1.0.1.8 did auto-negotiate EEE and was enabled. When I disabled EEE with the 1.0.1.8 driver, my packet loss disappeared.
TL; DR - If you're having connectivity issues with the I225-V, it may be worth trying to disable Energy Efficient Ethernet.

In the latest I225-V drivers (1.0.2.6) available in Windows Update, EEE now defaults to OFF.

Just FYI,
Asus ROG STRIX z490 G gaming. New 1.0.2.6 Intel driver gives me no issues.
No disconnecting on reboot, no packet loss, no connection drops/reconnections
Was using before 1.0.0.13- that was super stable.
I switched to 1.0 Gbps in driver settings tho. I do not need 2.5GBe. EEE is off, tried ON - didnt see any difference to be honest.-

I've got the newest firmware.
I do not like how the adapter behaves on 2.5GB ...It doesnt disconnect but looks like i am having packet loss.
Does anyone know how to look which revision I got on my motherboard? Where to look exactly?

Yes, many people have that problem, internet connection drops & have packet loss and slow Up/Download speeds. Its the silicon and Intel cant do much about it. They say the fix works 100% & its fixed in the next revisions of the silicon but there are people with them that still have the same problems. Only thing that works but its not 100% fix is to flash NVM to 1.45 (even if you already did it). Im posting the fix and the thread on Intel Forum. I will make a separate post because this is important.
