Windows 10: Computer stopped connecting to scanner when it worked just fine yesterday.

I have a Canon printer/scanner that I have had no issues with until today. Now, my computer will not connect to the scanning portion of the printer, but I can print just fine. I've restarted the printer/scanner, I've restarted my computer and nothing. Last week my computer stopped connecting to my HP office printer as well. Ive done a virus scan, i've uninstalled and reinstalled my scan app and still it won't connect. How do I fix this?

My ethernet connection suddenly stopped working. It was fine until yesterday.

I have a Windows 10 Home Edition laptop connected to a 2G / 5G router. I've never had a problem with the internet before. My ethernet connection suddenly stopped yesterday, so I checked the settings and found it said "unidentified network, no connection" on the ethernet page, instead of my network name as usual. The strange thing is that I found that Wifi still works, so the router itself is not down for some reason. Tried reconnecting the ethernet cable to the router, then to the computer, even restarting the computer, but nothing worked. It's as if the cable just didn't recognize itself as plugged in, even though it was working fine yesterday morning.



Your help would be appreciated.

 

My ethernet connection has suddenly stopped working. It was fine up to yesterday.

I have a desktop computer with Windows 10, Home Edition, connected to a 2G/5G router. I've never had issues with the internet before. My ethernet connection suddenly stopped yesterday around 4 PM, so I checked the Settings and found that it read "unidentified
network, no connection" on the ethernet page, instead of my network's name like normal. The odd thing is, I discovered that Wifi still works, even the 5G channel, so the router itself isn't down for some reason (although even 5G is quite slow at the moment,
as I'd imagine wireless internet is being used a ton right now). I've tried plugging the ethernet cable back into the router, then back into the computer, even restarting the computer itself, but nothing has worked. It's like the cable simply isn't recognized
as being plugged in, despite it working fine just yesterday morning.

Not sure what's going on here, as this has never happened before. Assistance would be appreciated.
