  1. Can't enable internet adapter unless i restart pc


    basically, if I disable the internet adapter in the control panel no matter how many times I press enable after it, it will just say enabled but will stay greyed out and the internet will not work unless I restart the pc.

    I tried troubleshooting but didn't work and also I noticed the adapter window lags when I press disable. I've had this problem since the fall creators update but ignored it since I didn't need to disable the adapter, but now there's something I need to do that require disabling and enabling the adapter

    IP configuration not valid - interference from ethernet adapter?


    Solution 1: No Internet Access In Windows 8.1or Windows 10

    Step 1:

    Go to Device Manager → Network adapters.
    Step 2:

    Expand it (Network adapters).


    Step 3:

    Select your network adapter


    Step 4:

    Right click on your wireless network adapter or Ethernet adapter and then tap “Update Driver Software”.
    (in this case your network adopter is Ethernet adopter so tap your Ethernet adapter)
    Step 5:

    Now on a new window you will need to click on “Browse my computer for driver software”.
