Windows 10: Why does my computer keep trying to reconnect to an ethernet port ever after I disabled it?

My computer keeps reconnecting to an non-existent ethernet port. I have disabled it and got it to connect to wifi for only a minute, then it disconnected from wifi again. It has done this multiple times, even without it being disabled. Yes, we have re-started the router and computer multiple times. Thanks!

recognize ethernet ports for computer to computer network

I worked all this out for a Win7-WinXP direct ethernet computer-to-computer network and later amended it for a Win7-Win7 network. A step-by-step procedure for creating a two-computer Ethernet cable network - MSAForum You can use a crossover cable but do not have to. Doing this in Windows 10 is just about the same as doing it in Windows 7 but some diagrams look different & you have to look around for the equivalent settings in some cases. But I suggest you do yourself a favour and get a router so that it does all the hard work for you. Best of luck, Denis

 

Disable ethernet

Hello Comdervids, My name is Brian. I am an independent advisor and Windows 10 user. After reading your question, I am understanding it as you want to disable your ethernet port in order to remove it from the connections list.

To do this follow these simple steps below.

1. Right-click the wifi icon at the bottom right where the date and time are located on the taskbar.

2. Click open Network & Internet settings

3. Select Ethernet on the left

4. Right-click the port you want to disable

5. Click disable

Done!

That's it, it's that simple.

Best of luck and feel free to respond if I can be of further assistance.

Ethernet port not blinking...

possibly your ethernet port has died...

Unless if you format/reinstall windows , and see if that way... but overall, physically take a look at the motherboard in the computer, and see if any capacitor's top's have blown open or even have a bump on them (the tops of the capacitors should be flat) . If any indication that happens, then your mobo is eventually gonna die.

Other than that, u went through all other steps that are very known..

**My Friends system not to long ago has the exact same issue, and there were caps blown, but only the ethernet didnt work
