In order to reinstall a network adapter driver in Windows 10, a few steps need to be taken. The first step is to identify the name and model of the network adapter. This can be done from the Device Manager. In the search box on the taskbar, type Device Manager, and select it from the list of results. Then, locate Network Adapters in the Device Manager window and double-click on it to expand the list. The device name and model number of the network adapter will be displayed in the expanded list.
Next, download the latest driver for the network adapter. Drivers are available on the manufacturer’s website. If the manufacturer’s website is not available, then drivers are available on third-party websites. The downloaded driver file should be saved to a location that is easy to remember such as the desktop.
Once the driver has been downloaded, the next step is to uninstall the current driver. To do this, open the Device Manager, right-click on the network adapter and select Uninstall. A confirmation message will appear. Select the checkboxes next to Delete the driver software for this device and Uninstall. Click on OK to continue.
Now it is time to install the new driver. Double-click on the downloaded driver file and follow the installation wizard. When prompted, select the option to “Install this driver software anyway” and then click on Finish.
The last step is to restart the computer. Once the computer is restarted, the new network adapter driver will be installed and functioning properly.
It is also important to note that once the driver has been uninstalled and reinstalled, any changes made to the network adapter settings such as IP address, DNS server, and other settings will need to be reconfigured. If the network adapter supports any additional features such as Power Management or Advanced Settings, they will also need to be reconfigured.
If the above steps are followed, the network adapter driver will be successfully reinstalled in Windows 10. This process should resolve any network connection issues.
