Solution Steps

  1. 1 Press Windows key + X and select 'Device Manager'. Expand 'Network adapters'. Look for any adapter with a yellow exclamation mark. If you see one, right-click and select 'Update driver'. Choose 'Search automatically for drivers'. This updates the driver to a working version.
  2. 2 If the adapter is disabled, right-click and select 'Enable device'. This turns the adapter back on.
  3. 3 Press Windows key + I to open Settings, go to Network & Internet. Check if your Wi-Fi is turned on and you're connected to a network. If not, reconnect.
  4. 4 Open Command Prompt as admin and run 'ipconfig /release' followed by 'ipconfig /renew'. This releases and renews your IP address, which can fix network configuration issues.
  5. 5 Run 'netsh winsock reset' and 'netsh int ip reset' to reset network protocols. Restart your PC afterward.
