Surface Network Adapter Missing
During the troubleshooting, I had found the driver for my WAN Miniport (Network Monitor) was bad and that I was missing my WAN Miniport (L2TP), (PPTP) and (SSTP) adapters.
The WAN Miniport (Network Monitor) was the easiest to repair as it was present in the Device manager and the others were not. All I had to do to correct this issue was go to Control Panel; Troubleshooting; Hardware and Sound and run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter. This corrected the bad driver for the WAN Miniport (Network Monitor).
The other three WAN Miniport drivers required downloading Devcon from the Windows Driver Development Kit. Once I had downloaded the Devcon for amd64 since I am running Windows 7 x64, I installed it in my windows folder. I then opened the cmd window with administrator privileges and typed the following from the windows folder prompt. >devcon install c:windowsinfnetrasa.inf MS_L2ptMiniport or (MS_PptpMiniport or MS_SstpMiniport) for the WAN miniport drivers I needed to install. The system told me the node was created, the driver needed to be installed and that Devcon had failed for each of the adapters.
Device manager displayed unknown device or each. I then updated driver, scanned for hardware changes and checked properties to add driver. After about a minute the driver was added and unknown device was replaced by the appropriate WAN adapter display.
Fix Disabled Network Adapter on Windows 10 Desktop. Although there are several ways to fix disabled network adapter or missing network adapter in Windows 10 but in this post, I will show solitary two ways.
I have no Wireless adapter showing under Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network Connections. I just see Bluetooth and Ethernet.
How do I reinstate the Wireless adapter in Windows so I can make a connection to a wireless network?
I am also missing the option to 'manually connect to a wireless network', as shown here:
It is a desktop Windows 10 machine with a Linksys AC1200 USB wireless adapter plugged in and I am trying to connect to a 4G hub.
Linksys AC1200 is present and enabled in Device Manager (reporting as Linksys WUSB6300). The drivers are the latest from the Linksys website.

I had similar situation where the network drivers and the hardware were fine (Device Manager listed all network adapters and Linux used the network just fine, but there was no network in Windows 10 and no Network Connections in network settings). My guess is that I had Cisco AnyConnect VPN installed in Windows 8.1 and then upgraded to Windows 10 where it all got messed up.Many users experienced that and there were many suggestions and none of them worked.

Eventually I had to run the following command to reset the absent network connections:
Surface Network Adapter Disappeared
The first time it failed and gave many errors. Then I tried netcfg -d command again and then it was successful (bizarrely). Then I rebooted and suddenly Windows 10 started picking up networks.
Now it can associate with WiFi AP securely but it still fails to get an IP address.. well, at least something.
This is a known issue with Win 10 if you have older VPN software installed like Cisco or in my case Junos. What worked for me was to uninstall the VPN and reboot. Nexus mods manager. However the articles out there suggest registry editing:
Start CMD as an admin
reg delete HKCRCLSID{988248f3-a1ad-49bf-9170-676cbbc36ba3} /va /f
Watch avatar legend of korra season 4. next in the same CMD:
netcfg -v -u dni_dne
reboot and wifi should be back.
However I got the 'registry key not found so I unstalled the VPN, reboot and wifi is back. Next I installed a new version from Win 10 store and everything works great!
Go into Device Manager and see if the driver is installed under the Network Adapters category. In device manager you can also check if the driver is disabled or not. You can open Device manager by following these steps, or you can search for devmgmt.msc in the search bar from the Start Menu.
If the driver is not installed, go to the manufactures website and download it.
- Open Device Manager, open the drop-down Network adpaters
- Right-click Network adapters
- Select Scan for hardware changes
- If you can't see your Wireless adapter, go to step 11
- If you can see it, right-click on the adapter
- Select Uninstall ( this should only uninstall you driver software, not delete it)
- Now right-click Network adapters again
- Select Scan for hardware changes. This should re-detect your wireless adapter)
- Once detected, restart you machine
- Make sure your Wireless adapter in Network And Sharing Center is Enabled. Now try what you have to.
- If you cant find you your Wireless adapter device, you may need to properly install a wireless adapter driver. You'll have to do it perfectly, or have a service person do it for your machine
Surface Ethernet Adapter Driver Missing
PS: If you want to create a wifi hotspot (when your wireless adapter is working properly), try the following command in Command Prompt
Replace YOURSSID with your ssid, and PROFILENAME with a name for you connection
I just had the same issue. Drove me nuts. No connection options listed except Broadband and dial-up (what year is this??), with an Ethernet connection.I saw that a Windows Update had been installed this morning, about the time that the wifi crapped out. Did a system restore back to the update installation and voila---my wifi adapter was back.I knew it was something with the laptop because my tablets and phone wifi were both fine.
I have had same issues but got it resolved. Always turn off the wifi of PC/Laptop before shutdown. Whenever PC/Laptop is again started wifi adaptor will be available under network adaptor tab. Switch on Wifi and search for required wifi network.Hope this works for all.
