it appears I have no network adapter running. I’ve tried reinstalling drivers from a flash drive but no luck. Could it be the actual network card going bad?
Internet stopped working and says “You’re connected using a virtual network adapter.

says “You’re connected using a virtual network adapter that we can’t test”. I’m not using a virtual network adapter though
