1. Usually, the driver file is in .exe format. Extract and decompress the file to a folder. (To extract the file, you need an archive utility such as 7zip. If you don't have one, you can download it online.)
I bought the NUC6i7KYK from Amazon in end December and I encountered the same problem during the installation of Windows 10. When I attempted to install the LAN using device drivers of version 21.1 downloaded from Intel website, I got an warning "There is an issue with Microsoft Windows 10 that prevents the Intel Advanced Network Services feature from work correctly. You may install the feature, although you will be unable to create Intel ANS Teams and VLANs. Do you wish to install the feature?" When I clicked 'Yes' to proceed, I saw the "device not install". However, after I downgrade to version 20.x recommended in this thread, I can see the same warning message and successfully complete the installation of the LAN device driver as an interim solution.
I find out the problem. The problem is caused the Windows 10 licence used. The licence that I used for the initial installation was a licence before activation for evaluation purposes. This licence inhibited all Windows and device drivers update, Windows Store download, etc. After I have properly activated the Windows 10 licence, I am able to download all the Windows updates and successfully installed the latest device drivers included the Intel LAN drivers 21.1.
Message, it hangs for a while and then fails. I have no idea why a driver is being released with this problem, I assume it's on Microsoft's end based one what I've read. If I then try and install using Intel's tool I get:
Before trying the fix of installing the old driver, I read this thread and checked the activation status in System - and yes it was Activated. I didn't have an internet connection when I initially installed Windows or tried to install the drivers that came on the mobo disk but I did install a genuine copy of Windows and did connect it afterwards (I maybe wrong assuming an internet connection is needed for activation).
I have the exact same problem, I attempted to install -Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-10 Intel Network Adapter Driver for Windows 10 version 21.1 (the latest version at this time), the install of the driver would hang for 5 minutes, and then fail. Due to this post, I installed -Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-10 Intel Network Adapter Driver for Windows 10 version 20.7.1 and the driver and wired ethernet connection works fine. This is only a temporary solution, what happens when there is a network driver update we need to move to, but it doesn't work? This is unacceptable, please provide a fix for the latest driver.
Edit 01/03/17: See my recent /thread/109626 post for additional details including how I worked around the problem of not being able to install the current latest -Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-10 Intel Network Adapter Driver for Windows 10 version 21.1.

Open Device Manager and find the category you need from the list (this could be under something like "Internet" or "LAN"). Right-click on the list item for your ethernet and select Update Driver from the drop-down menu. If Windows is unable to find a driver update, check the ethernet card manufacturer's website to see if they have a new driver you can manually download.
Download the necessary drivers using a computer that does have an internet connection, then transfer the driver files to another form of media you can use on the disconnected computer (for example, a USB flash drive). Next, connect the media with the drivers to the disconnected computer and copy them over. Then double-click the driver files that have been copied to your disconnected computer to begin the installation process, and follow the prompts.
My pc does recognize my iPhone and the USBethernet but I seem to lack a driver. I have tried multiple attempts from other post including where you find the driver manually on your pc via this path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\netdrivers.
At the same time as tech "evolves" it's letting apart troubleshooting for situations that were really common years ago, like in this case of having no internet connection at all and needing a situational hotspot.
If you take a deep look into windows device manager, you will see there's a device not recognized with no driver installed with a name that can differ with each case. It will usually say something like Apple USB Ethernet.
Having the driver, go into the "faulty device" again and right click -> update -> look in MY PC -> choose from a list on MY PC -> use disc -> examine -> select .inf file on the driver folder you just downloaded -> next next next.
This will not work if, after installing the driver into the device, you get a message with some type of error like couldn't init device or whatever. The device on the list will now have a yellow triangle. This means you installed the wrong driver, so just uninstall and look for the correct one. THIS IS WHY WINDOWS UPDATE EXISTS!!!
If you have a computer that can connect to a wireless network, please ensure that WiFi is enabled and wait for your computer to automatically download this. This driver should automatically load in 5 to 15 minutes, depending on your network connection.
From here, the driver should be installed and a wired network connection should be available to choose from within your network preferences. If this is not the case, please ensure that other devices are able to connect to this ethernet cord and receive a network connection.
