The Pi B+ replaced the large amount of components that used to handle power with a new power control chip. Because it replaced so many parts in the lower-left part of the board, it ultimately reduced the cost of the power system according to RPT. (RPT = Raspberry Pi (Trading))
However, my theory is that the original design with the large amount of components had a switch which routed power to the Ethernet LEDs by using a digital gate. With the switch to the new Power chip, they couldn’t do that anymore, and connected it to the data lines directly.
However, what doesn’t make sense about this is that Windows 10 is super dim. If it was only a rewiring, why wouldn’t the lights be dim on Raspbian? Any distribution? I suspect that maybe there is a driver which boosted power to the Ethernet lights or said to apply more power on the data channels that isn’t getting set on our Windows 10 drivers. I could, of course, be absolutely wrong.
It’s definitely a + or not + thing, and i’ve been poking around with my multimeter to see where things go. It seems so far they go to the CPU directly, but i have no idea what’s going on so far.
Are we only running on one core?

That’s a Caveat? XD
Although, mine doesn’t do that.
Also, does anyone know of a way to change the screen resolution?
1080p is nice but I’d like to see how the system is at 720p
How to connect Ethernet to windows 10 18362 on raspberry pi 4 model b.
Keyboard and mouse are working through OTG USB HUB.But only internet is not working.
Ethernet works on Pi 3 definitely.
But current Pi 4 support is not good, so currently there isn’t any network drivers for this.
You can try to find PCI Express PC versions of those drivers. Try to give 'em a shot. It’s x86 of course, but it still should work thru emulation.
Following the thread.

Installed W10 on Pi400 with no problems at all, over a ssd.
But it has no Wifi.
Ethernet does not work, either.
It seems others have solved the problem somehow. Until I read more and maybe understand that my problem was already documented, I am leaving this here.
Thank you all if you can point me to the right direction for research.
