Error: One or more network protocols are missing on this computer

Hi Suhail,

We suggest you uninstall and reinstall the network adapter to fix this issue. Kindly follow the troubleshooting steps below:

• Click Windows key + R.
• Type devmgmt.msc, and hit Enter.
• Navigate to Network adapters, and find your network adapter.
• Right-click your network driver, and click Uninstall.

Alternatively, you can reset the TCP/IP protocol by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + R.
• Type netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt, and hit Enter.
• Note: When you run this command, it'll rewrite your computer's registry keys used for TCP/IP settings. This achieves the same result as removing and reinstalling the protocol.
• Reboot your PC.

Let us know how it goes.

Thank you.

Network Protocols


Hi all,

I have just joined the forum after having this same issue on upgrading a Windows 7 machine to Windows 10. No problem connecting to the Internet on Windows 7, 10 gets the missing protocol error.

I have tried various fixes suggested in this thread to no avail including entering the winsock keys from a Win 7 machine.

One thing I noticed using IPCONFIG is that the IP address of the computer is of the form 169.*.*.*. My router assigns IP addresses to devices in the form of 192.*.*.*.

Could it be that Win 10 is assigning its own IP address?

The other thing I noticed was the network type was showing up as "public". In Windows firewall I noticed there are different profiles for public and private networks.

If I disabled the firewall I could get the network type to show up as "private" and Win 10 would say it was connected to the Internet. It wasn't as I could not open a web site such as bbc.co.uk but in a command prompt I could ping the bbc web site successfully.

It is all very strange but if any of my information above rings any bells with anyone and so may be able to suggest the next step that would be great.
