After a recent update, if have found that Windows 10 would not obtain an address via DHCP over a 1Gbps wired connection directly to the router in my home. This is not a problem with the router, cable, or Ethernet adapter in my PC, nor is it a problem with the version of the driver. I have found that Windows 10 is prioritizing wireless connections, even when not connected to anything, over wired connections. The network troubleshooter gave me very odd results because, though it identified my wired interface and the driver for it, the test results showed the virtual Ethernet created by Virtual Box as what the test was run on.
I found that if I go into settings and disable the wireless adapter, then reboot, the desktop PC will obtain an address via DHCP and I'm on the network.
I have a NAS and a few other systems connected to a switch that is connected to my router. I do not want the NAS traffic going over the air, it is both too slow and adds to the congestion.
This same problem occurred after an update many months ago, so I'm not sure if the recent update simply enabled the Wireless adapter (I had disabled it in the previous incident) or if this is a regression of some sort, however the Windows 10 network management should allow the user to select the primary network connection and, and this is very important, honor that selection. Wireless is important in home networking, and growing more so, but it does not replace wired in every case, and there should be some user-visible setting (I realize that there probably is a setting somewhere that, with PowerShell or the registry editor can be altered, but that's arcane knowledge and very hard to find for the non-expert) in the network control panel.
So I guess it comes down to the following multi-part question:

- Is this an acknowledged problem?
- Is there a workaround other than to disable wireless networking entirely on the affected system?
- Is there going to be a fix in a future Windows 10 update?
