Windows 10: Windows refuses to believe it's connected to Ethernet

I have had this issue since the update on the 15th I confirmed its not hardware by using a laptop to check the router and the cable and linux to check the pcs mobo. I have asked other fourms, and tried cpuntless "fixes" all of wich did not help. Hope someone knows how to fix this. :

Setting a metered connection for Ethernet?


Please permit me to respectfully disagree, battlezone. Not only is it possible to do this, TenForums offers a tutorial that explains exactly how, step-by-step: Set Ethernet Connection as Metered or Unmetered in Windows 10. Do please check it out, won't you?
Thanks,

My reliable ethernet connection no longer works

Hi Marcia,

To better understand the query, please answer the following questions:

• After restarting is your computer in normal mode or not?
• Are you getting any error message?

I suggest you to reset the modem\ router and check if the Ethernet connection works or not.

If still the issue persist then I suggest you to follow the steps from the below article
“Fix network connection issues” and check if it helps.
