    Cannot control network connection


    Three W10 computers and a printer in my house are in a named group, everything worked until yesterday. The wife's and the portable still send print jobs without difficulty. My Win 10 Pro box (connected to the router by cable) cannot talk to the printer because of "network problems" (unspecified). "Network connections" - tells me it's on Ethernet but not the name of the group. I cannot find any way to change it.

    When I try to "Set up a (new) network," the "Choose wireless router or access point... (may take 90 sec)" dialog box remains Blank! I have done this several times.

    Under Ethernet properties, I found this: Device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_15BC&SUBSYS_7B231462&REV_10\3&11583659&0&FE requires further installation.

    The plot thickens - The printer is multi-function including a scanner. When I reset and log-on, a window pops up telling me that the scan function doesn't work. It changes a minute later to say scan IS working and it does! But it still does not print.

    I have had some weird problems with this Arsenal Mobo involving the BIOS. Those problems clear after I reset the BIOS by shorting the battery. I'll try that.
