Ethernet connection dropping with event ID 8033
LAN/Wifi disconnection with Event Id 8033 and 2505 at the same time.
Event ID 8033 (Strange)
Error ID 8033 - 'A browser has forced an election on network ... because a master browser has stopped'
Hi everyone,
Here are my specs:
**CPU** | [AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 3.9 GHz 8-Core Processor]
**CPU Cooler** | [Noctua NH-U9S 46.44 CFM CPU Cooler]
**Motherboard** | [MSI B450M MORTAR MAX Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard]
**Memory** | [G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory]
**Storage** | [Seagate Barracuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive]
**Video Card** | [MSI Radeon RX 580 8 GB ARMOR MK2 OC Video Card]

**Power Supply** | [Corsair SF 600 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular SFX Power Supply]
**Operating System** | [Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit]
What happened: My ethernet connection drops intermittently for 15-30 secs. In the event viewer, every time it happens there is a 8033 event that is logged (either as a cause or a consequence of internet dropping, I do not know).
Here is the general message: The browser has forced an election on network \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{38233678-7C6D-436E-A15C-2CF8CEE1728E} because a master browser was stopped.
Here are the details of the event :

The other devices connected to the network are connected via wi-fi and do not seem to lose internet.
I tried:
-changing the ethernet cable
-plugging into a different ethernet slot on the router
-looking for a driver update for the ethernet adapter (Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller #3)
-disabling energy-efficient ethernet, advanced energy-efficient ethernet, Wake-up on magic packet
-disallowing the computer to turn off the device to save power
-updating the router firmware
-everything on this website:https://www.guidingtech.com/fix-windows-10-ethernet-keeps-disconnecting/
I find this quite hard to troubleshoot as its occurrence looks random to me and it causes disconnects in many coop/MP games.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Looks like the 8033 event if in fact a consequence of internet dropping, as it happened when I tried cleaning up my ethernet port or swapping router ports. Although, using this event ID as a symptom of the problem, I can see that this problem is only 3 months old (dating from the 6th of August), but I cannot remember any hardware/software changes I did that day.
The author of this question has found out the the problem was due to their drivers, and did a driver rollback in order to fix the problem.
I had the same problem.
Changing the channel width from Auto to 20 MHz solved it for me.
In Device Manager, right click on "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260" and select Properties, under Advance Tab, change Channel width to "20 MHz Only".
My PC recently would not stay in sleep mode. Whenever I put it to sleep, it will immediately wake up on its own. Event Viewer is showing the 2 events at the time of wake up:

I really didn't know what to make of this information so I ran a system file check using the 'sfc /scannow' command in command prompt and after it completed, I received the message: "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." I don't think I changed anything that would've caused this. Everything else is running smoothly. Please help. Thank you
