Kevin,
This issue needs to be escalated in Intel. I deal with it multiple times a day and it's extremely frustrating having to reboot my NUC every time I use it.
THIS PRODUCT US BROKEN! The issue isn't a problem with Microsoft, it only happens with the NUC. So please do not even infer this unless you have evidence to back it up. This has been going on for more than a year now and you still seem to have no clue what's causing it. There are no known viable workarounds recommended, I'm not sure you've even tried to reproduce it since it's so easy to reproduce.
I think it's time for Intel to refund the purchase price if you have no intention of fixing it , so that we can ALL go find a non-Intel solution that WILL work and get on with our lives instead of troubleshooting this frustrating problem !!
