    I uninstalled all network adapters, can't get Local Area Connection


    I uninstalled all network adapters trying to fix another issue but now my LAN network doesn't work,
    what is the best way to restore network adapters and previous local area connection ?

    Hi Paddy, I assume that you uninstalled the network adapter through device manager so try going to device manager and select scan of hardware changes. Will likely find the adapter and then reinstall the correct drivers.

    You might have to restart the machine as well.

    Thanks. I did manage to get it back.
    Yes, I uninstalled through Device Manager, but didn't get it back from there as the 'Scan of hardware changes' was unresponsive.
    It did take a restart and some work of drivers updating.

    Glad you got it fixed Paddy.
