After days of disabling and enabling ethernet (no ip address etc.) I came upon your site and followed your easy instructions. It worked. Back up and running. Thank you.

While all networking aspects seemed OK and all the manual resets had been tried, we still could not see the shared files at all!!
I couldn’t readily remove the NICs as I am dealing with the computers remotely.
So, while I had to get reconnected, this fixed the file share visibility issue!!

I’m using Windows 10 and I did network reset for the No Internet issue and after the automatic reboot, it wouldn’t log in. It shows the password box for logging in after rebooting so I put my password in but it just wouldn’t log in and reboots itself automatically and repeatedly so I cannot do anything to fix this issue. I tried and restore Windows system back to after the last update but it failed. Can anybody help me with this?

Your directions say: “You might need to reinstall other networking software afterwards, such as VPN client software or virtual switches.”
How does one do this?

Greetings,
I’m wondering what other troubleshooting options there are before resetting my network adapter besides the tool Windows provides, which is unable to detect the problem. Last time something like this happened I found instructions for using the command line and it fixed the problem but I can’t find those instructions this time.
You may need drivers for your wireless network card, that work with Windows 10. See the site of your laptop manufacturer and download and install all the Windows 10 drivers for your laptop. Since you have no WiFi, you have to do this on a different PC that has an internet connection.

I had an update in Win10 that caused my internet connections to completely stop working and found that what was needed was a driver update…in this case the Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller gotten from the Realtek support driver site and upon installing the latest greatest got everything back to working properly.
my adapter settings was deleted somehow when I made the reset and now I have no wifi or cable internet working

I have to do this every single time I restart my computer. If I restart without doing a network reset the computer is not seen on the network. Very frustrating as I have been networking computers for over 25 years and this just started a week ago.

Does doing a network reset on one machine effect all others on the network, or must they all be reset individualy?
after resetting network I can now see my PC on network but after I restart PC my PC does not show on network and I have to reset it again to get it to show . I have windows 10 1903 and it did not do this when I had 1803

Is there a way to save the entire network configuration (including virtual switches)?

Thanks, that worked like a charm! My issue was my wireless was connecting, but not updating the IP config for a particular access point, so I was unable to browse, connect to any resource. Lights were on, but nobody was home. I was able to tether via my phone, but didn’t want to burn my data all day. The reset and reboot were fine and just had to reenter my wireless password.
Thank you it worked

I cannot connect to the internet and neither is it showing any icon for wireless devices. When i click on the network icon at the bottom right, it shows Network & Internet settings and also a disabled Flight mode(as in i cannot click on it. Its just a greyed out icon). If i reset the network, will it reinstall the adapters back?

Does this affect the wifi? My other devices are working on this wifi, just not my main computer.
Thank you very much for this post! Resolved a DNS server access issue completely when nothing else would work. Thank you much!
I was given a second hand laptop with Windows 10 . Could not connect it until I found your instructions . THANK YOU .
Please I can’t access to any network on my Hp laptop window 10. Please how can I get back the WiFi without Internet? Thanks
I don’t have a STATUS option on that settings page, and cannot find a NETWORK RESET anywhere.
You probably don’t have Windows 10 then.

Good instructions…works great

Can we do this using PowerShell?
Probably you can. Don’t know the commands you have to go through.
Thanks.

It affects only the PC where the reset is done. In a network, you must reset each PC individually.
Thank you.
