Windows 10 Networking Issues

[SquaR]

So after upgrading my PC to Windows 10 I have been having all kinds of networking issues.

At first I had a limited connection so I thought to uninstall and reinstall the Intel LAN drivers but they wouldn't install since they were already installed. So I uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled and still no connection. Next I noticed that it wasn't even detecting the adapter in network adapters page in the control panel. I tried plugging in my wifi card with dodgy drivers and same issue. I then tried tethering my phone over USB and no success again.

 

Ref the screenshot; They are all detected in device manager yet still nothing??? All the drivers are up-to-date.

 

Specs,

i5-4670k

Asus Maximus VI Hero Z87

Win10 64bit

GTX 770 2G

16GB RAM

 

Please and thank you

 

PS new to posting but longtime lurker and I don't know how to make a spoiler sorry

now that you did the upgrade

do the clean install

will solve any problems you are having

 

or is windows not activated yet?

That's the thing. I don't know if it is activated yet because windows 10 has never been connected to the internet. Windows 8.1 was though. I have a system image of 8.1 so if it isn't I can always revert back to that again

Yeah not activated. Should I try to do a refresh but keep files? Or will that then not activate it as a upgrade but a new install?

you could try that reset pc thing

but it will wipe out everything 

backup before you do it

[techguru]

my first guess is your system files from the previous os where messed up..either that or the drivers

and now its causing 10 to not see the network either

Tried these drivers? http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/lan/LAN_V20_1_2019_0_WHQL.zip

 

Unplug the phone and the WiFi, and also uninstall Virtual Box.

@Jlryan Installing those drivers fails and it says "No Intel Adapters are present in this computer"
I'll do the "clean" install (that preserves all your data) first like you suggested @techguru and if that doesn't work, I'll just go back to Windows 8.1 again. I'm relectant to do a clean "clean" install at the moment because my Australian internet won't let me download a lot

 

Thanks for your support, I'll post another reply after its done and update if it fixed or if I went back to windows 8.1

Huh, check in BIOS to see if it's not been disabled, those drivers are specific to your motherboard...

If it was disabled in BIOS device manager wouldn't be able to detect it though.

[Jlryan]

Ah yes, my bad. When you said it wasn't detecting I automatically assumed you meant in device manager.

Thanks @techguru , A clean install has resolved the issue. Now to reinstall all my things , I have the back ups, but so many things need repairing its not funny
