So I noticed this morning after I opened up my laptop to start working that I wasn't connecting to the internet via my ethernet cable. Nothing shows up in the Network Centre and in the Device Manager it says:
"Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer."
The driver version is 9.0.0.35 and says its the most up todate driver version. I haven't tried uninstalling it yet, just in case. I'll wait to confirm this is the correct solution or if there is another before I attempt it. I've only had this laptop for just less than a year, so I'm pretty disappointing that somethings gone wrong with it already, considering how much I spent on it.
