So I had a weird situation yesterday, I'm playing a game on the PC and afterwards I close the game, open a browser and notice it won't open.
Then I see, no internet connection over Ethernet. I check the router, restart, still no connection. Then try wifi, PC refuses yo connect to the wifi, then I try hotspoting from my phone and a second router, nothing works.
I disable and re-enable the network device in windows, restart the PC and it still doesn't work. I checked system logs to see if windows just did a weird update, but no updates in a week. I simply turned that PC on and played a game I've played before and then the network connection died.
So at this point I'm worrying that the motherboard's Intel network chip is dead. But eventually I come across a setting in windows that lets me reset all the windows network settings and reinstall the network device, it requires a reboot. Did that now magically it's working again..
So what happened, I still don't understand
