Windows 10: Error: "A network cable is not properly plugged in or may be broken"

I have an Toshiba Laptop. I left it like this for a couple of hours and then attempted to switch it on again and, after a lot of attempts, Windows finally started as usual but there was one problem: I was getting the "no networks available" error and the Wifi option is missing it’s just an airplane mode.In the past, I've had the same issue before, but a restart could normally fix the problem, which is not the case now.I have tried all of the following:Network ResetDevice manager - to uninstall/remove the network and then install it againRestarting my laptopRestarting the modem

Windows 10: A network cable is not properly plugged in or may be broken

I've just built my own pc yesterday and I'm having problems connecting to the Internet via ethernet cable.

These are my pc's specs:

PROCESSOR - Intel core i7-6700k

GRAPHICS CARD - Msi gtx 1060 armor 6g ocv1 nvidia geforce gddr5

MOTHERBOARD - Msi z710a gaming m5

I've gotten two error messages:

1) A network cable is not properly plugged in or may be broken

2) "Ethernet" doesn't have a valid ip configuration (this seems to be fixed by changing the ip address)

For the network cable not being plugged in/broken, I've tried using a different cable and it works on my laptop but not on my new pc. I have no Internet in my pc to update the drivers so that is out of the picture

Am I missing anything? Please help

 

"A network cable is not properly plugged in or may be broken" - keeps coming up

Dear Nyima Yonten,

Thank you for continuing to follow up with me on this issue. I have been pretty busy, and using other pc s to get my work done, so I didn't try this fix until today.

I followed the steps of "Method 1"- it resolved the problem for
that period of operation (after the re-start); but after shutting down and rebooting, the problem returned, exactly as before. The troubleshooter resets the network adapter, but also lists as a problem, "A network cable is not properly plugged in or
may be broken."

Just to re-state the problem: when I start up this laptop, half or two-thirds of the time, it cannot connect to my wi-fi (at close range, where other devices connect without any difficulty) without re-setting the network adapter... including via the methods
you suggested: by uninstalling and reinstalling the driver software.

Thanks for trying to help me. Does this sound like a hardware problem?

Dan
