Windows 10: Wireless Network Adapter Driver is not Installed

My windows 10 smartab (model: STW1050) will not recognize the network adapter. I have already ran the troubleshooter a million times it said "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter. If you have a network adapter, you will need to re-install the driver" and I already have pulled up the "Device Manager" and expanded "Network adapters" and nothing but WAN Miniport stuff is there nothing like I have seen other people do on their pc"s. A link to re-install the driver and a guide to do so would be appriceated and if that is not the problem please let me know.

Install a driver for your network adapter

Did all you said, didnt work
Also, i already have the cd. It is not its drivers people. It is something else
If it was the drivers the wireless usb key would have worked.
All kind of drivers suggested, official and other things didn't work.
It must be something blocking my pc network
