    Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter


    I recently switched out my motherboard and cpu in my custom pc and when I boot it up the Ethernet is not working. If I go to my network connections the folder is empty and also there is no network adapters other the WAN ones. I troubleshoot it and it says windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter. I have tried system restore and it didn’t work. Also, I have wifi but nothing pops up for the WIFI on the pc so the pc is completely without internet. How do I fix?

    :)

    Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter.

    Hello.

    So I completely replaced Windows 10 Home with Ubuntu.

    Ubuntu was not working well on my computer {Acer Aspire 2 in 1 convertible with 32 Gb SSD} so I decided to go back and install again Windows 10.

    After successful new clean install, I see that “Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter” so I’m unable to connect to the internet.

    Also “No audio output device is installed”.

    This type of Acer uses Realtek, have already downloaded some drivers but still “Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter”.

    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Network adapter driver not properly installed


    Long story short. I have a Asus Crosshair iv formula motherboard which has has Windows 7/8/10 installed on it before. I have used W10 preview since it first came out and I've been using the final version now. Internet has worked fine until today. Tells me it can't find a properly installed network adapter. Under device manager it list as unknown device. I even formatted and reinstalled my OS. Drivers from Asus website not working for, they only have the LAN driver listed for wins 7, help.
