Windows 10: Ethernet not Recognized on Startup?

Recently I have encountered an issue where every time I start my PC, it does not connect to the internet via ethernet. I have checked the network settings troubleshooter and it tells me there is no cable connected. I have tried multiple cables, in different ports on my router, and confirmed with my ISP that it is not a service issue I have a second PC that connects just fine. I have also ensured that all my drivers are up to date.I have found one solution: After startup, I go to SETTINGS > NETWORK & INTERNET > NETWORK RESET, and after the computer restarts, it connects automatic

Ethernet cable getting recognized only after uninstalling and re-installing the ethernet driver

Hello all. I have a laptop which came with Windows 11 installed. At first there were no issues but for the past week my Ethernet cable does not get recognized by my laptop. Following the steps I have seen here in similar questions, I unplug my cable, uninstall the Ethernet driver from the Device Manager, Scan for hardware changes (driver gets installed automatically), plug the Ethernet cable and everything works fine. Next time I open my computer the Ethernet might or might not get recognized. I have to do this task almost every time I open my computer. Any suggestions?

 

Computer not recognizing Ethernet cable

Hi Vijay, I appreciate your help.

I will try each step even if I've already done it, just to make sure, and post my results.

A. When I troubleshoot internet connections, it tells me “Plug an ethernet cable into this computer” and says my cable might be broken or disconnected. However of course i have tried a different working cable with no luck.

when I troubleshoot network adapter, it says “plug an Ethernet cable into the network adapter ‘Ethernet’” which of course has already been done so it is not recognizing it.

B. I tried every suggestion/step listed (except for the wifi troubleshooting since my computer doesn't have wifi) and none of them worked.

C. When I run the windows update troubleshooter, it tells me “download and install pending updates” (Maybe it is not up to date because I tried reinstalling windows 10 to see if that would fix the internet, but it did not. I updated it like last week or
something like that) but of course I can't download the updates without internet. If I click “apply this fix” it tells me to plug in an Ethernet cable. But i believe windows 10 was up to date before this issue even began because I updated it just a week ago.

D. I do not understand this step. The guide is confusing to me. It also appears that I have to download tools in order to do this repair. I cannot download anything because my computer cannot connect to the internet. I don't have a USB flashdrive. I did
try reinstalling Windows 10 though and it did not help.
