How to Fix Network Adapter Missing In Windows 11 | Latest 2024 Tutorial

How to Fix Network Adapter Missing In Windows 11 | Latest Tutorial.
If you are not seeing your network adapter on your computer, one of the reasons for this may be because you have an older network card driver installed on your computer. But, you don’t have to worry, fixes are available to solve this problem. If the problem is happening on your computer for the first time, try rebooting your computer and check if you can discover the network adapter on your computer.
Issues addressed in this tutorial:
network adapter missing windows 11
network adapter missing windows 11 ASUS
network adapter missing after windows 11 update
missing adapter for network connections
network adapter missing device manager
network adapter driver missing windows 11
ethernet network adapter missing windows 11
network adapter missing from network connections
network adapter missing from device manager windows 11
fix missing network adapter windows 11
missing driver for network adapter
hp laptop network adapter missing
network adapter missing in windows 11
If you don’t see Wireless Adapter under Network Connections neither there is a Network adapter tab under device manager then it seems like your Network Adapter is missing or not detected on your Windows 11 which is a serious issue because you won’t be able to access the Internet until the issue is resolved. In short, when you click on the Wireless icon on the system tray there won’t be any device listed in order to connect to the Internet and if you open Device Manager then you won’t see the Network Adapter tab.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 11 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, Huawei and Samsung.

[@GOHAN290]

Had a final exam and my computers wifi completely messed up. This video saved me. Thank you so much

[@solomonmang]

You really saved me!! When I opened my laptop, internet just disappeared. Error Icon in Device manager. Then, I tried the "cmd" thing, restart, and it all went back to normal. Thanks man.

[@34kstarzzzz]

I cant thank you enough! I was so worried I had to get help from a person at the store but I don’t! If this happens again Ill be sure to watch this again! I’m subscribing!

[@justusvillains1055]

Still not working :( Thank you for the clear directions. Sadly, did not work for me. I should've known better than to upgrade to 11 so early

[@felixkalala1830]

I regret it too. But I disabled my network adapter then troubleshoot it then let windows enable it for me again and the wifi popped back up. Or just restart the pc.

[@JetsonDrums]

Same here. Tried everything but to no avail. Can’t even seem to roll back to a previous restore point.

[@Arewethereyet69]

@@JetsonDrums any solution

[@Arewethereyet69]

Called tech suppprt.
1 turn off computer hit f2 go into bios
2 hit f9 click yes/reset.
3 restart computer
Worked

[@scoopbrainz]

Same bro :(

[@CaptainGreens88]

Thank you very much!! Great Video 5/5.
The first solution worked like a charm.

[@jamisontate2989]

After watching over 10 videos on my issue, this is the first one that worked for me.

[@MDTechVideos]

Glad it helped

[@deiseach02]

Worked like a charm. Much obliged to you!

[@anotherstupidfeature]

Off topic: I installed the latest Intel nw driver and noticed that there is no longer an option to disable jumbo frames. Why? The only option is to type manually a value, starting from 1512. It doesn't accept anything below that. I have to use older driver in order to select 'disbled'.

[@mcupatriots4113]

What about the model, do you just select any that is on top

[@amartyaarumugam2077]

Issues with the network adapter seem to occur when I connect a Bluetooth device to the laptop when media is already playing. First my audio driver doesn't work and when that's fixed, the network adapter malfunctions.

[@adarshpramod9970]

The second step works like a charm. Thank you very much for the informative tutorial 🙌

[@MDTechVideos]

Glad it helped!

How did you record while you restarted your PC? I mean, the program should have been closed.
Thanks.

Thank you, I thought it was my network adapter that was broken but thanks to you, you fixed my problem!

[@Iroh]

Did yall solve it? Do i need wifi for the second method

[@OmieSaiyan]

if i do the network reset option, will it reset all the setings i have for the ethernet adapter regarding gaming pc ?

[@gregfury]

The first procedure (command-line) fixed my issue! I think I lost the adapter after some automatic system updates. Now it's back!
Thank you.!

[@marsallen4298]

So what do you do when you tried both options and your network adapters and drivers are still not reinstalled?
