Network adapter

Hi Ryan,

Let's work on this together. Have you restarted your device since then? This should reinstall the network adapters automatically. If it didn't, let's perform the Network reset.
It removes any network adapters you have installed and the settings for them. After your PC restarts, any network adapters are reinstalled, and the settings for them are set to the defaults.
Follow these steps:

• Go to Settings > Network & Internet >
  Status > Network reset.
• On the Network reset screen, select Reset now > Yes.
• Wait for your PC to restart and see if that fixes the problem.

Please advise as necessary.
