Windows could not find a Driver for your Network Adapter [SOLVED]
Device Drivers are important for the proper functioning of your system hardware, if these drivers get corrυpted or somehow stopped functioning then the hardware will stop commυnicating with Windows. In short, yоu will face issues with that particular hardware. So in case, you’re facing network-related issues or if you’re nоt able to connect to the Internet then you would probably run the Network Adapter Troubleshooter. Navigate to Windows Settings (Press Windows Key + I) then click on Update & Security, from the left-hand side menu select Troubleshoot. Now under “Find and fix other problems” click on Network Adapter and then click “Run the troubleshooter“.
Usually, the network troubleshooter checks the drivers and settings, if they are not in place then it resets them, and resolves issues whenever it can. But in this case, when you run the network adapter troubleshooter you will see that it’s unable to fix the issue even though it has found the problem. Network troubleshooter will show you the error message “Windows could not find a driver for your network adapter“.
The above error message doesn’t mean that there is no network adapter driver installed on the system, the error simply means that Windows isn’t able to communicate with the Network adapter. Now, this is because of corrupted, outdated, or incompatible network drivers. So without wasting any time let’s see How to Fix Windows could not find a driver for your network adapter error with the help of the below-listed tutorial.

This wraps up the simple fixes that you can implement to fix Windows could not find drivers for your network adapter. If you are using a desktop and using a PCIe network card, you can try swapping out the network adapter card for another one or using the onboard network adapter. If you are using a laptop that has a swappable Wi-Fi card, you can also try swapping it with another card and check if there is a hardware issue with your network adapter.
If none of these fixes work, you can try reinstalling Windows 10 as a last resort. Or, you can use another boot drive and see if there is a problem with your operating system only. This will save you some time to verify if the operating system is at fault. You can also try searching for issues with the particular network adapter you have on the manufacturer’s support website. If you don’t know which one you are using, it is most probable that the one you are using is an Intel onboard LAN adapter.
