How this problem get started?
Did you install any program or update your device?
In case you have access to another PC, try visit your device's manufacturer website and download the latest network driver and copy it to an external storage and move it to the affected PC and install it.

Thanks for replying.
I started up my laptop, it disconnected from the internet, reconnected then disconnected permanently.
Unfortunately Medion son't supply drivers as they say on their website that Windows can detect all the drivers for all their products.
I did however download the Intel drivers for the adapter on another machine, put it on a usb and installed them but the adapter is still not showing in Device Manager.- Reza_AmeriMar 19, 2022Silver ContributorYou may try to contact their support by email and ask them to send you a link or driver for the network card.
Try boot into Safe Mode with networking and see if it works?- thomassutherlandMar 19, 2022Copper Contributor
Thanks again Reza,
So I managed to use my mobile to tether the internet to this machine through USB.
Windows updated all the drivers and now my Intel Wifi adapter is back.
However it is showing as "this device cannot start" Code 10 in device manager.
Same thing with my Intel Bluetooth.
I tried booting in safe mode and the adapter showed up fine and had no errors, however safe mode wouldn't allow me to add a wifi connection.
I have ran through many different suggestions from online blogs about CODE 10 but can't seem to fix this now. Any thoughts on it?
