Unfortunately I cannot guarantee this will help.
And please update motherboard and/or chipset drivers from MSI site.
MSI Center and Device Manager are show two very different things

Something weird is going on with my drivers. Msi center says I have the lastest Realtek network driver yet Device manager says I have one from an older date. The one that MSI states says it should be the one most up to date. I did the update via MSI center because my gaming pc was been BSOD for the last week and a half randomly on Destiny 2. It says the error is related to AFD.Sys which is related to the network adapter.
