Removes existing Network Drivers for your adapter
If your network has stopped working or you are experiencing issues after a recent update, try uninstalling the network adapter and restarting your computer. After restarting, Windows will automatically install the latest native driver.
Before uninstalling, make sure you have the latest manufacturer drivers available. Visit the PC manufacturer’s website and download the latest network adapter driver from there. If your PC can't connect to the internet, you'll need to download a driver on a different PC and save it to a USB flash drive so you can install the driver on your PC. You’ll need to know the PC manufacturer and model name or number.

3. Right-click the network adapter, and click Uninstall.
4. Click "Uninstall" when prompted to uninstall the device. This will remove the adapter from the list and uninstall the driver
5. After it is finished uninstalling the driver, restart your computer.
