    My laptop can't search for networks


    One day my laptop just couldn't connect through wifi. It can't search for networks. When I click the internet icon on the Taskbar no networks appeared. Then I checked device manager and saw the Bluetooth, network controller and network adapters with a warning sign like this. I double clicked on them and the bluetooth and network adapter said on the device status "This device cannot start. Code 10". The network controller said "the drivers for this device are not installed. Code 28". How can I fix it?.

    :)
