Windows 10: Network media is not present, retry media connection

I woke up today to get on my Alienware laptop. The screen said “network media not present, retry media connection.” I restored the defaults in the bios and it says it can’t boot up. I need an immediate answer and help because I use this laptop for my music career and school so please help.

Network media is not present, how to fix it?

i just bought a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 15iah7 type 82s9, the first using i cannot initiate the windows it shows me the message "network media is not present, retry media connection for 1 time" from my research i need to change the priority boot but i dont know how.

 

"Media not present"

the button to reset to default for me was F9 i pressed it selected ok

then when exiting bios i selected save and exit

and it still says "network media is not present, retrying in... " also says default boot device missing or boot failed.

when i get to select a boot device it only shows the pxe network(probably the network from the store or something.

 

IPCONFIG /ALL reveals Media State = Media Disconnected for many users

It is perfectly clear.

Look at my screen shot. The "Ethernet adaptor Local Area Connedtion" doesn't say media disconnected.

That is because there is a cable connected to that connection. That is where my internet and network is coming from. Because that connection doesn't say media disconnected, I have network access and internet access. If I unplug the network cable from my machine, and run it again, it changes to media disconnected.

When you add the /all switch to ipconfig, it shows you every network connection.

The isatap and tunnelling connections that it lists are NOT releated to your ISP. They are actually virtual connections created to handle sending IPv6 packets over a private IPv4 network. It only really applies to very specific conditions, and for the most part will always say media disconnected. You should ignore these, as they have nothing to do with if you are actually connected to a network or the Internet.
