Wrong version of Realtek USB Driver installing on W10 22H2
I've now encountered several instances where the Realtek USB Ethernet Controller driver keeps installing version 1153.10.20.1104 on Windows 10 22H2 machines. Per the documentation here Realtek USB GBE Ethernet Controller Driver | Driver Details | Dell US the v1153 driver is for windows 11 and the installer should be laying down 10.56.20.1104 but it isn't. Seems like there is an error in the installer detecting W10 22H2.
No Events found!

Not certain what the issue is with your unspecified system. But, when the system detects the ethernet connection through a docking station, Windows automatically installing a working driver for USB ethernet.
The driver is provided for when users manually perform driver install just in case certain Windows settings has preventing the device scanning and failed the automatic driver installation. The driver just simply adding an ethernet connection via USB protocol to whichever devices connecting to the dock.
In other words, as long as it's working, who cares whichever version the Windows put on the machines.
