Packet Loss Issue

This week, I began running into an issue with periodic packet loss on one of our development laptops.  I've just gone through a clean install of LabVIEW, FRC tools, reflashed our radio, reflashed our RIO trying to figure out what's going on.  It appears to be specific to a single laptop.  After fresh boots of the laptop and robot, packet traffic shows up as minimal on the driver station.  As soon as I start LabVIEW, there's a burst of traffic and it subsides.  Then I open my project...  After opening the project - not yet connected to the target, the driver station begins a cycle of 1-2 seconds of 100% packet loss, followed by little/no activity for 1-2 seconds and then it repeats again.  The driver station periodically loses comms as you would expect.  This happens with wifi or hardwired connections.  This seems similar to the packet loss thread on CD, but we're running LabVIEW.

 

We're able to get work done on other laptops, but I'd really like to figure out what's going on so we can use that laptop and avoid the problem in the future.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I wonder if it is related to a firewall, anti-virus, or other software that is trying to use the network (I've seen Autodesk software show problems with LabVIEW and the driver station).

I've disabled firewall and malware software and anything else that's not essential.  The problem crops up as soon I've opened a project, and it's unique to that laptop (a 2022 KOP Lenovo).  The three other laptops we use for development don't appear to have that problem.  I may try to reinstall the OS and see if it lingers.  What really bugs me is that the laptop was working fine until this past week.  It's not blocking us, but these kinds of things really bother me until I've ferreted out the root cause.
