Windows 10: LAN and Wireless Network Adaptor not working, Win10

Hi all,

I did a silly thing and now both my LAN and Wireless Network adaptors are not working.

On both I have the following 'device status'

"Windows is still setting up the class configuration for this device Code 56."


Using a second laptop, I've downloaded and installed most recent drivers, but that didn't fix it.

:)

 

Network adaptor

I won't click Me Too because not sure it's identical.

NB: apparently for some problems going to Network Adaptor in Device Mgr and doing UnInstall is step 1.

Reboot re-installs it auto-magically. Which is step 2.

Alas, I ended up with Driver up to date, Adaptor working fine, but
"Missing Protocol" which halts cable network

So no LAN.

 

No wireless network adaptor? Help Please.

Installed new card, drivers, and the damn thing still does not work and it says the same thing, and the light is still red.
" This computer does not have a wireless network adaptor installed and configured."
Any other ideas?

Also could not find anything in the bios.

It works if its pluged in but not wireless

 

wireless network

Vista or XP?

You need to go in and delete the network. Then it will pick it up again, and ask you to enter the key again.

On Vista, you do this by going into Networking and Sharing Center. The click on Customize, then click on Merge or delete network locations. Find the SSID of the router in the list, and delete it.

On XP, I believe you have to go to Network Connections, then right click on your Wireless Adaptor. Go to Status, and there should be a button to Manage Wireless Networks, that should take you to where you need to be to delete the network.
