Windows 7 Scan for Hardware Changes doesn’t install deleted network adapter. Please help ASAP

[Matihan4]

So I was playing an online game and in the middle of of it, it kicked me out due to lack of connection. I tried troubleshooting it as soon as possible but it couldn’t find any problem. However, my wi-fi is working on all other devices like my phone, laptop and console but not on my PC.

I restarted my router and wi-fi worked on everything except from my PC.

On Network and Sharing Centre as I remember it showed that public network is available but it couldn’t connect to network or internet. So then I watched Youtube videos on how to fix it and it said to uninstall one of the network adapters and reinstall it by clicking ‘Scan for Hardware Changes’. However, it didn’t do anything and didn’t even reinstall uninstalled adapter.


Now it shows on network and sharing centre that I am currently not connected to any networks and it even doesn’t show a public network anymore. When I try to troubleshoot it, it says to plug an ethernet cable??? But I always used wireless internet.


So now I’m stuck here not knowing what to do. Plus, clumsy me doesn’t even know what adapter I deleted...


Please guys I need help ASAP. Everything will be appreciated
