WINDOWS cannot detect networking hardware

[Irgelod]

I was updating my Killer Network E2200 drivers and then after it was completed, windows could no longer detect my ethernet cable.
I've tried installing multiple versions of the driver, even the latest, and had no luck. My BIOS can detect the ethernet cable and the cable is not broken since I tried it on my laptop. The device manager also lists it as working properly. When I try to set up a connection the list for adapters is blank.
Motherboard: Z87-G45
Windows 10
Please help a brother out

Uninstall any lan drivers you have. Restart the pc. Download the driver from this link, make sure you get the Driver only. Install it.

I've already tried that, no use.

What exactly do you mean with "try to set up a connection"? Th setup wizard is only needed for wifi and other connection that need a login with username/pw or security key.

When I'm in Network and Sharing Center, I select Set Up a New Connection or Network and then Connect to the internet. After I press next it'll tell me Windows does not detect networking hardware even though my MB picks up the ethernet cable. It's kinda irrelevant.

Some Windows 10 drivers are not yet functional, and some are not yet ready for prime time.

So you are trying to connect directly to a modem without a router? Without a DHCP server/router? I still don't get it! Please open a command prompt, enter ipconfig /all and post the result here.

So revert to an old one?

I use a TP-LINK Archer D7 and it used to work fine before I updated the driver.

You can try that, but if that does not work, you may need to go back to 7 or 8.1 to get things working. Eventually, almost all of the drivers will get updated. But Microsoft rushed Windows 10 big time. Microsoft also plans to drop a big update in November to try to fix a lot of the problems and bugs. No clue on what will be fixed yet though.

If it worked before, Open the Control Panel, click on System, Device Manager, Network Adapters, and do a driver rollback.

I don't see the important part: the ip address the PC got from the router? Ther should be at least the Windows generated 164.xxx address.
