Windows Event ID 16002 AFD

I have a HP Pavillion PC which is connected to my wireless network due to restrictions in the house. I have been having some issues which i suspect are related. Nearly every day now i either lose wireless connection, even though other devices near by have no issues or my outlook stops sending/recieving. I just get the progress bar and nothing happens. The only way i can solve these issues is by a restart which is starting to get tedious now.

I have looked through my error logs and i seem to have this event that pops up

Closing a TCP socket with local port number 50513 in process 1008 is taking longer than expected. The local port number may not be available until the close operation is completed. This happens typically due to misbehaving network drivers. Ensure latest updates are installed for Windows and any third-party networking software including NIC drivers, firewalls, or other security products.

I have updated my wireless card drivers to the very latest i can obtain. I have even tried plugging in a usb Wireless Belkin adapter and still no joy.

I really want to avoid a full windows reinstall but i cannot carry on like this. Is anyone able to shed any light on this issue.

Thank you in advance and apologies if its in the wrong forum

Thanks

Have you tried a Refresh of Windows? http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2293-refresh-windows-8-a.html

For starters, let's have a look at this report:
Please do the following:
- open Event Viewer (run eventvwr.msc from the "Run" dialog))
- expand the Custom Views category (left click on the > next to the words "Custom Views")
- right click on Administrative Events
- select "Save all Events in Custom View as..."
- save the file as Admin.evtx
- zip up the file (right click on it, select "Send to", select "Compressed (zipped) folder")
- upload it with your next post (if it's too big, then upload it to a free file-hosting service and post a link here).

Hi

Thank you for your reply. i have had even more problems tonight with regards to this issue. I lost Wireless connectivity while working even though the ipad was still connected to the same network. I checked the logs and there was an error that occured just before the loss of connectivity. I am starting to pull my hair out now :-(

I have uploaded a zip file with both my System and App Logs. My pc wouldnt let me export the admin log.

Hopefully you will see the error and be able to help me

Thanks again

I'm not really familiar with these kind of problems.
I see a few issues with your Norton protection.
Please uninstall it, then enable Windows Defender and the Windows Firewall in order to test it.
(feel free to reinstall the latest version of Norton if it isn't involved).

Other than that, I'd suggest posting over in the Network & Sharing - Windows 8 Forums
The people helping over there have more experience with network problems.
