    Can't find network adapter.


    Getting angry. Got a brand new windows 10 2 in 1. Was 0laying a game, everything was fine, went to multiplayer and said no internet adapter. Did a soft reset, did a complete system wipe, can't connect to the net. Very angry. Please help me. Have a new pc and can't even connect to the net. Thank you for your time.

    What does Device manager show? Is there
    - any entry with a warning triangle,
    - any entry called Unknown device, and
    - any entry within the Other devices group [if this group exists, it is a euphemism for 'No driver installed'].


    Have you gone to the computer maker and downloaded then reinstalled the network adapter driver?

    If the problem continues, please explain what you meant by
    - soft reset
    - complete system wipe

    Where's computer maker? And I can't download anything since I can't get online. Where could I download the network adapter on another pc, so I can save it on a flash drive to put it on my laptop? Thank you.

    He means the manufacture of your PC. Do you not have any install cd with drivers or anything? Did you try the device manager that was mentioned? Right click on the start menu bottom right corner and select Device Manager and then follow the instructions above.

    computer maker = the maker of your computer

    2 "I can't download anything since I can't get online" The network adapter driver does not need to be downloaded by the computer concerned. You can download the driver for your network adapter on the device you are online with to write your posts and then copy it across to the problem computer using, for example, a USB stick.

    Ematic 29nrsi3 Intel atom tm x5 z8350 cpu @ 1.44 ghz. 32 bit is x64 based processor. I downloaded win32 driver set, but halfway thru setup, it said it couldn't cause no Intel processor or something was found. Which is nonsense cause it came with it, lol

    That is IPv6 related or maybe you even have VPN installed?

    Try this, download and run as admin, it will restart PC afterwards.

    [Batch] Windows Network Fix - Pastebin.com

    Or try this one: Reset Network Adapters in Windows 10

    Do I download those on another pc, save to a flash drive, and install on one that needs it? And I did have Avast on there back when it worked properly, lol. But after I restored it to factory settings, it's not there now.

    Any answer to my question please?
