Webroot Uninstall Breaks Network Connection - Win10

After uninstalling SecureAnywhere v9.0.13.62 (Windows 10) both ethernet and wireless connections become unidentified. If I restore point back to when Webroot was still on, network works fine. Remove Webroot and reboot, networks go unidentified again.
SFC = no integrity problems. Removed NIC drivers and reloaded, nope.
Any thoughts? Been working on this for two days now.

Hello @, welcome to our Community.

I checked with our Enterprise Support Team and they haven't heard of this issue as of yet. I've opened a Support Ticket on your behalf with our Team so they can collect logs to further diagnose.

@ I would advise reaching out to our Support Team as well:

I've got a Home version installed by Best Buy. Google lead me to this topic so I thought I would post. Who should I contact?
The fix for me was Command Prompt/Run as Administrator: "C:Program FilesWebrootWRSA.exe" –uninstall 
Uninstalling several times via Programs & Features Control Panel resulted in "Unidentified network" with no IP address issued by the network's DHCP server (169.xxx.xxx.xxx address) after reboot.
