Resolved the problem. Uninstall the Realtek adaptor software from Programs. Then in device manager uninstall and delete drivers from that device. Then disable that device. Should work for you also however I also installed off USB key when I did the upgrade so you may want to do that also.

I also just unistalled Realtek from Control panel/programs and features and it worked. 

I have an HP dv7 A8

Thank you alot for the solution.
