I knew it was not being blocked by the firewall based on the logs. I needed to determine which website was being blocked. I used this DNS query sniffer utility.

The solution was to have windows update the ASmedia USB 3.0 drivers. It then stops randomly disconnecting. I also ran a firmware update to the TB16.
Delete the upgrade key in the registry.
Delete all local user profiles. This is due to windows store apps that were automatically installed.
Delete print jobs stuck in queue
In an administrator command prompt paste the following commands or convert it into a script.
@echo off
echo.
echo Purging the print queue…
net stop Spooler
echo Deleting all print jobs… ping localhost -n 4 > nul
del /q %SystemRoot%\system32\spool\printers\*.*
net start Spooler
echo Done!
ping localhost -n 4 > nul
If that doesn’t work you can try these two things:
Run sfc /scannow from an admin command prompt
Set Bluetooth service to automatic and then start it
In and admin command prompt run the following command:
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded
After windows pe has loaded hold shift and press f10 to bring up a command prompt window.
At a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
drvload driver.inf
Notes
Driver.inf is the name of the third-party network driver.
You have to specify the full path and the name of the driver. For example, if Driver.inf is on a CD, and the CD drive is drive D, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
drvload.exe d:\Folder\Driver.inf
Type wpeutil InitializeNetwork
To verify network connectivity, type ipconfig /all.
The drive letter of D varies based on how many partitions are on the local systems hard drive.
