Device Drivers suddenly not connected.

My Bluetooth device(personal area network), intel(r) wireless AC, Microsoft WiFi direct virtual adapters(1&2), and Realtek USB the family controller adapters all seem to have been uninstalled. They’re all showing up with a (Code 45). I’ve tried reinstalling the software using the “add legacy hardware” feature but it just makes a duplicate adapter that is also in a error state. This has caused the network controller to stop working and it says in its properties it’s a (code 28). How do I fix this?

Hi, welcome to tenforums. Please complete your PC specs (click My computer below my post to see mine for comparison) - Tutorial available if needed. Speccy or HWinfo can help.

What is your Windows build? Sadly it's not a forum requirement so we have to ask time and again- Win key + r, winver

Roughly how old is your PC? For which build of Windows are the latest drivers available?

all seem to have been uninstalled.

History:
When this happened can you think of any particular event that occurred?
e.g. received an update, a feature update (upgrade) - see your Windows Update History- is anything listed around the time this happened? Some maintenance action you performed? Cat walked over the keyboard? ....

Do you have a relevant system restore point you could use?
Do you use disk imaging routinely as tenforums so often recommends? - Do you have a disk image you could restore?
(E.g. Macrium reflect (free/paid).
