If you had installed the March 2018 security updates (KB4088878 & KB4088875) and lost network settings on Windows 7 SP1 and/or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. And if you looking for a fix, here it is.

https://support.microsoft.com/?id=4099950
Note: It needs to be installed before KB4088875 and/or KB4088878 are installed.
Update: If for some reason you still haven’t installed the March 2018 Security updates, resynchronize WSUS after 2:00 p.m. Pacific (GMT-8) today (4/3/2018) which will force KB4099950 before KB4088875 and/or KB4088878 are installed.
Q: In April 2018 security updates, do we need to do anything else?
A: No, it (KB4099950) will be bundled with the April 2018 updates.
Q: What about my Windows Server 2008 SP2 based systems?
A: If pci.sys version is older than 6.0.6002.22567, you will need to set the registry keys:
-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PnP\Pci
- HackFlags (DWORD) 0x00040000 (Hex)
*Note, if there’s a HackFlags value there already, make sure you OR the values instead of overwriting it."
i.e.
· If HackFlags doesn’t exit:
Value: 0x00040000
· If HackFlags does exits
New Value: (Existing Flags | 0x00040000)
Example: if existing value is 0x0000001, change value to (bitwise OR) 0x00040001
