Thanks for posting this. The steps didn’t work for me & I didn’t want to put any more effort into it, so, in the end, I just bought a wireless USB adapter for $30 which is working wonderfully.

In reply to Sutham Nair. Microsoft has removed that option in the updated versions of Windows.

Hi Mukhtar,

My problem is a little different, but you put so much good information that I thought I’d ask you if you can help me. In my case, I have a Windows 10 Prof desktop computer and my network connection has disappeared several times in the past two or three months and I’ve fixed each time by doing the Network Reset or the Restore from a restore point, but today the connection is gone and neither of those two methods worked? I then checked the Device Manager Network Adapters and all I saw were WAN adapters, no Intel connection or similar wired adapter? I actually downloaded a Windows 10 Media Creation Tool and downloaded a Windows 10 Pro OS version to my laptop via a USB device and I then installed that new version of Win 10 Pro with the Win 10 Media Creation tool and it installed fine until the end when it said there was no network connection so I’m still unable to fix my network adapter problem?

If you can offer any help, I’d really appreciate it!

It is saying I have the most updated driver and that it is working properly. But problem has not resolved. I didn’t buy an adaptor I tried fixing the one I have, because I possibly may have disabled it or something, I’m not sure. Prior to this my laptop had completely froze and I had to do a hard reset.

This is very helpful. I just fixed the disabled ethernet issue by Network Reset.

Thank you so much!!
