Busted Windows 8, 10 update blamed for breaking Brits' DHCP

I'd been struggling with one laptop doing this for weeks. Customer kept calling me back time and time again. In the end I fixed it by downloading the latest wireless drivers from the laptop supplier (the Win10 automatic upgrade had installed a different set, while the default Broadcom drivers were also bad) and also set the router to give a fixed DHCP address for this one machine.

I couldn't give it a fixed IP address because it was used on other networks - where it behaved.

It appeared to be a combination of the default Microsoft wireless drivers for Broadcom chipsets and the BT Homehub
