DHCPv6 client in Windows 10 broken after anniversary update

[Trevor Warwick]

I've think I've also seen this. To work around a bug in my Ubiquiti router
at home, I can't use SLAAC, so need to rely on DHCPv6 for address
assignment.  This weekend, a recently upgraded Windows 10 Anniversary
machine wasn't successfully getting an IPv6 address. Looking at it with
wireshark,IIRC, the client sent a Solicit, the server sent an Advertise,
but there was no Request from the client after that.
