Well can't say I've ever run into this particular issue, but I'd do a couple things:
 

1) uninstall network drivers, assuming they're still on there (only do this if you have another PC where you can download new ones, though)

2) get the drivers on another PC and install them from a USB

3) run

sfc /scannow

 in an elevated command prompt, it *should* repair broken windows installs to some extent

4) pray

Bless your soul it worked without uninstalling anything
