  2. Network will not show on the last device.

    Hi James,

    I suggest you to remove all the networks that are connected to your device and check.

    If the issue persist, I suggest you to follow the steps below.

    An outdated or incompatible network adapter driver can cause connection problems. If you recently upgraded to
    Windows 10, it's possible that the current driver was designed for a previous version of Windows. Check to see if an updated driver is available.


    • In the search box on the taskbar, type Device Manager, and then select
      Device Manager from the list of results.

    • In Device Manager, select Network adapters > the network adapter name.

    • Right-click (or press and hold) the network adapter, and then select Update Driver Software >
      Search automatically for updated driver software. Follow the steps, then select
      Close.

    • After installing the updated driver, select the Start
      Network devices not showing [​IMG]
      button >
      Power > Restart if asked to restart, and see if that fixes the connection issue.

    If Windows can’t find a new driver for your network adapter, visit the PC manufacturer’s website and download the latest network adapter driver from there. If your PC can't connect to the Internet, you'll need to download a driver on a different PC and save
    it to a USB flash drive, so you can install the driver on your PC. You’ll need to know the PC manufacturer and model name or number.

    Rely us with the status to assist you further.

    Network card not showing

    Hi,



    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.



    In order to help you better, could you please confirm a couple of things




    • Are you using router?

    • Are you getting any error message?


    Is you are using router then I suggest you to reset the router and check if the issue persist.

    Also I suggest you to update the Network Adapter driver. Here is the steps:


    • Press Windows+X key on your desktop and select
      Device Manager.

    • Locate Network drivers, expand, right click and click
      on Update.

      Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
