  1. Network Adapter


    The other day I was having a problem on my desktop PC I'm on my Laptop now where I could not change my DNS. that's not a problem anymore though so I was looking up ways to fix it and one of them suggested I uninstalled the network adapter in device manager, so I did that and there was a popup box that had a checkbox in it but I forgot what it said if it helps I did not check that box, anyway after that all it did was change the icon of the adapter by adding one of those yellow triangle error icons, I thought that was normal because I would be reinstalling it anyway, so I right-clicked desktop and clicked scan for hardware changes. and it did nothing, I even tried restarting the network or whatever its called in the settings. So now my computer cannot connect to the internet and when I click the internet icon on the taskbar nothing shows up and all it has there is the internet settings button, any help is appreciated. The computer is an Inspiron One 2020



    Thanks.

    :)

    Issues with network adapters

    Hi Alfonso,

    To resolve this issue, we suggest that you run the Network troubleshooter when you switch from WiFi to Ethernet connection. The Network troubleshooter can help diagnose and fix common connection problems including clearing the network cache to obtain a new
    IP from the new network. Kindly follow the steps below:

    • In the search box on the taskbar, type Identify and repair network problems, and then select
      Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
    • Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

    If the issue persists, kindly try the troubleshooting steps on the following link:

    Fix network connection issues in Windows 10
    .

    We recommend that you try the steps on the Update the network adapter driver,
    Run the Network troubleshooter followed by networking commands, and Use network reset to reinstall network devices sections.

    Let us know how it goes for us to assist you further.
