Windows 10: Device Drivers suddenly not connected.

My Bluetooth device(personal area network), intel(r) wireless AC, Microsoft WiFi direct virtual adapters(1&2), and Realtek USB the family controller adapters all seem to have been uninstalled. They’re all showing up with a (Code 45). I’ve tried reinstalling the software using the “add legacy hardware” feature but it just makes a duplicate adapter that is also in a error state. This has caused the network controller to stop working and it says in its properties it’s a (code 28). How do I fix this?

Hi,

The computer might think that there is an Ethernet cable connected to it. If there is no cable connected, we suggest that you uninstall and reinstall the driver from the device manager.

If it's the same issue, kindly run the Network Troubleshooter. To do so, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key.
• Type Troubleshooting.
• Click Network and Internet.
• Click Internet Connections.
• A window will pop up, click Next to proceed with the troubleshooting.
  

Let us know how it goes.

 

Laptop driver/reformat question

This is excellent advice. Writing down the list of installed devices prior to re-formatting will save you a lot of heartache. With that list, you won't have to try to figure out exactly which wireless card or web cam driver you need since there will likely be several to choose from.
