Same symptom - no iLok here, though.
 
This must be a win10 / AVB driver issue.  Good thing is that MOTU is indeed on this, so please report this, Steve, and they'll probably also give you access to a driver update which "may" fix this (should be available soon)...

I wish the batch file worked. I'm gonna play around when I get a chance and see if there is anything besides "restart" that you can do. Otherwise - at least the Sept 1 driver usually worked OK after one or two "pokes" with the batch file.

Maybe the "fix" will work - but I'm not getting my hopes up ;-)

UPDATE
I got a link for the new driver - did you get it Rob?
I'll try to sneak it in tomorrow. They mention uninstalling in add/remove programs first. I've never done this before installing a new driver - I wonder...

Yes, I got the link, just set a restore point and installed as instructed i.e. including uninstalling the old one first... it does look good on my end. Played drums and piano via direct monitoring using the AVB while having the DAW boot about 20 times and it got it right every time. Fingers crossed. I will have it in use extensively in the next few days so anymore issues will show.

I hope it does work on your system😎

I’ve got the beta drivers installed too, and first impressions are very good. It hasn’t failed yet and I’ve rebooted a dozen times.
 
I’ll use it through the week – and let you know if I have any problems at all.
It is definitely better than “MOTU Pro Audio Installer 4.0 (71271)” – for connection problems at least. I’ll double check that performance etc is OK – through the week.
 
Fingers crossed indeed!

Same impression here. Worked all day so far (did a number of unnecessary reboots to push it) ... it will see heavy use in the coming days, so if there are issues, they should show up ... will get back here if problems arise.

BTW, try running at low buffer to make it work hard and see if it performs better than the USB driver from spring that you used before... I can run it at <4ms RTL for almost everything. Only NI drumlab made me go up a bit...

For the record, the new beta driver that we received from support fixed the connection issues. The problem has not occurred again since installing the driver 5 days ago.
 

Same here. I haven't had any connection problems with the new driver - and my system was worse than Robs.
 
I'll update my MOTU support incident - and keep an eye on it, but I'm hopeful that we've got a solid driver now ;-)
I'm not seeing better performance (which has always been fine) just a solution for the connection problem.
 
=======================================
only slightly related
 
I continuously try to find ways to get my PC to run on buffer sizes smaller than 128 samples. (this gives me 8ms RTL in SONAR, which is fine, but I'm always trying to do better - especially for tracking guitar parts through am sims).
Settings at 64 buffers have never worked for me - but curiously, I get better results at 32 samples than at 64 (?)
I still get too much "crackling" at the 32 sample settings (with different safety offset settings) but I don't get the pegged meters and distorted audio like at 64 sample settings.
I wonder if this has to do with which plugins are running in SONAR?

Have you tried the standalone versions to check if they run at lower buffers than VSTs in Sonar?
I can do most of my work on 128 sample buffer @ 96 kHz, which translates to a 64 sample buffer @ 44.1 kHz, giving about 4-6 ms RTL depending on safety offset ... yet I did not use many amp sims lately and I realized that some Kontakt instruments (like e.g. Drum Lab which is a ROMpler and don't think should need much processing) only work at double ASIO buffers (i.e. like the settings you are using) ...
