Sometimes driver files become outdated. Other times, drivers become corrupt because of an operating-system glitch, and in some cases, failing hardware breaks drivers.

Select Network Adapters to expand it in Device Manager, right-click (or tap and hold) the Ethernet adapter, and select Uninstall Device &gt; Uninstall. Then reboot Windows. If you&#39;re not sure which is your Ethernet adaptor, it will probably have the company name of Realtek or Intel in its name or GBE.

If Windows is unable to find a driver update, check the ethernet card manufacturer&#39;s website to see if they have a new driver you can manually download. How do I install ethernet drivers without an internet connection? Download the necessary drivers using a computer that does have an internet connection, then transfer the driver files to another form of media you can use on the disconnected computer (for example, a USB flash drive).
