"Ethernet" doesn't have a valid IP Configuration
Hello.
I have been trying to fix this for the last 4-5 hours with no luck. I swear the computer was working fine just a few days ago. This evening, there's a yellow warning triangle above my internet icon.
Setup:
Centurylink DSL connected to Netgear Nighthawk
3 desktop computers all hardwired to router (2 of which are fine, 1 has no connection)
Was able to get into safe mode with networking (network was still dead)
Performed virus scan found a few trojans, deleted. Reset still no connection.
Performed IP Reset. Was successful.
Performed diagnostic:
Problems Found

The system cannot find the file specified.

Can someone help me figure out if I might have deleted a winsock? Registry key?
I really don't want to do a reset and potentially lose files, Starcraft, Fallout 4, ect...
Thank you so much.
