  2. Network adaptor

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    You may follow the steps provided below and check if it helps to resolve the issue

    Windows has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with Internet connection. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your internet.

    Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel
    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel
    • Run the Internet Connection troubleshooter

    Method 2: Try updating the latest Network Adapter drivers from the manufacturer's website and check if the issue persists.


    • Follow the steps to update the Network Adapter drivers:

    • Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.

    • Expand Network Adapter.

    • Right-click on the Ethernet and click on Update driver software.

    • Restart the computer and check.
    For games I suggest you to disable the proxy settings and then try to download the games.

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

    Did our Epson printer get hacked?

    Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.

    Step 3:
