Windows 10: Local Area Connection is Missing

I got an Ethernet cable and connected it to the router and computer, but I found out that it wasn't working. The computer doesn't even show that it's connected to the Ethernet. I tried restarting my computer, restarting the router, changing the ports but none has worked. Then I came across a solution that requires me to go to the setting "Local Area Connection" but when I go to the place it's supposed to be, it's not there. Not that the setting is disabled, it's just gone. Is there a way to get the setting back?

Hi Priya,

Thank you for replying.

Sorry for the delay in response.

The Local Area Connection Missing Windows 10 error may be caused by windows system files damage. The corrupted system files entries can be a real threat to the wellbeing of your computer.

There can be many events which may have resulted in the system files errors. An incomplete installation, an incomplete uninstall, improper deletion of applications or hardware. It can also be caused if your computer is recovered from a virus or adware/spyware
attack or by an improper shutdown of the computer. All the above actives may result in the deletion or corruption of the entries in the windows system files. This corrupted system file will lead to the missing and wrongly linked information and files needed
for the proper working of the application.

A quick question before we proceed:

What is the error message that you get after enabling local area connection?



You may also restart the pc and Plug in the cable properly into to check if that helps.



I also suggest you to refer to the suggestions provided by “Ratandeep” replied on
