Problem with driver for Ethernet and Wi-Fi Adapter


I have been using windows 10 for past few months. Internet was working fine with both Ethernet and Wi-Fi till yesterday. Today when I turned on Laptop , both of them stopped working.
Problems found by Troubleshooter :
* there might be a problem with the driver for the Wi-Fi adapter.
* there might be a problem with the driver for Ethernet adapter.

*cry*cry*cry*cry*cry*cry*cry*cry
I have tried some solutions from internet, but they didn't work.
* Troubleshooter doesn't solve the issue.
* In device manager Disabled and enabled the drivers.
* In device manager Uninstalled both the drivers and restarted the PC.
* Tried solution regarding VPN - registry key delete . Seems that KEY is not present.

Additional Information :
* I am having dual OS (Ubuntu). Both Wi-Fi and Ethernet works fine in Ubuntu.
* I am using Dell Studio -1558, Windows 10 Home edition.
* In Network ans sharing center - It says "You are currently not connected to any networks"
* No IP has been assigned to either Wi-Fi or Ethernet. (as per the results from ifconfig command).

Please guide me on how to resolve this issue.
I am in R&D department, So without internet, lot of my works are pending.
Looking forward to a response as soon as possible.
