Using MDT, the Win 10 upgrade process drops connectivity and the only way to get the upgrade to continue is to unplug and network adapter and plug it back in. The issue can be replicated on several business models we have in the environment. I have heard there is a firmware update for the RTL8153-03 that may resolve this problem. Is that true and where can I get it? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

one of the reasons the process breaks is that some of the usb (or usb-c) to Ethernet adapters have a built-in flash which confuses MDT on reboot... HP has a tool to permanently disable the flash you can try and see if that solves your problem

if your RTL8153-03 is a Rev B , check the attached label, you must update the firmware using this

even more update the USB Realtek Ethernet driver in both WinPE and WIndows 10 , using the version provided by HP on HP 840 G7 support page.
