Hi guys. So my new laptop came in the other day, all was good minus the fact that I hated the layout of windows 8, felt like I was on a smartphone instead.
Anyways, I got all my games/programs installed and was connected to the wifi here without an issue, then earlier today I restarted my laptop and I had no network connection options in 'NETWORK and SHARING' out of nowhere. Wifi said connected but it was 'limited'? I have tried many steps all over the net, run commands, cmd's, resetting netsh ipv4's and 6's, internet options and no avail. I have never encountered such an issu before..... is there an actual fix for this or am I screwed? I can't take it any longer... please help.

What I've also found is that after trouble shooting it says this:
-Problem with wireless adapter or access point
-The diagnostics policy service is disabled

Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is driving me simply INSANE as it just came out of nowhere!


P.s. I'm not all savvy with trouble shooting, so if somebody had a similar experience or knows a fix, please leyaman's terms

I'm staying at my families place outside of the country, they have some microsoft router. The two other laptops beside me work, like I mentioned it all went to hell after a restart.
