Windows 10: Network Connections Blank

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections - Appears to be empty

I have tried some Registry fixes - CMD fixes - sfc /scannow - And it insists to be empty.

HOWEVER

When I plugin a wireless adapter and look into network connections and everything is back - Remove it and everything goes blank again.

What should I do?

Thanks.

:)

 

No network connections

Not useful at all. I even installed a generic USB to RJ45 network adapter and although it was properly detected by Windows, the Network Connection page was still in blank.

 

Cellular data has stopped working. Lumia 800.

Fixed my data connection problem.



Settings->mobile network->add apn



APN: 3ireland.ie

Username: {blank}

Password: {blank}

Proxy server/URL: {blank}

Proxy port: {blank}



...and that's it, cellular data started working immediately.



I actually found that '3internet' also worked in the APN but obviously these two APNs are for Three Ireland.



Hope this helps.

 

Try a network reset: Settings - network and internet - Scroll down to network reset

 

Well, obviously... the Wi-Fi will find and connect a network ... without that or ethernet ... it will be blank... not so?

 

Plug it back in and leave it in.

Oh and while i'm here ---- stop playing in the registry.

 

Maybe I need to describe it more - Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections is completely blank - No adapters / images / symbols etc . Also Device manager doesn't show any devices with missing drivers or any errors.

When connecting the WIFI adapter - other adapters come back like it should be - even if it is disabled/unconnected. Take out the WIFI adapter and Network connections is empty.

I have tried to leave in the Ethernet cable in - but doesn't do anything - I do see the LED lights show up.

 

Make sure, that network services are set to Auto. Run CMD as admin and copy/paste:

Code: sc config Dhcp start= auto sc config netprofm start= auto sc config NlaSvc start= auto sc config nsi start= auto net start nsi net start NlaSvc net start Dhcp[/quote]

 

If this is the same computer that you had problems with last year I would check your BIOS again and see if your Lan is disabled again.

If you need drivers for the motherboard look here:
