Solution
Sounds like you uninstalled the drivers and need to reinstall them. Windows doesn't have them. You need to identify the ethernet card, if it's on-board a motherboard or a separate card. With a different computer get the drivers from the maker (like putting them on a thumb drive aka usb drive), then install them on that computer.

Okay so, This morning my network card was working fine.... i got back and my computer had restarted i thourght nothing of it, but when i logged in i found that i was no longer connected to the internet ive tried restarting and re isntalling all my drivers updating them, disabling and enabling, removed the actual components and put them back in, When i look on device manager and go on properties under details on my network adapter it says code 52, but this is about drivers and im certain ive done everything i can driver wise gone through the process of reinstalling over and over again. But then under other devices:
Ethernet controller - The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.


To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.

and

PCI device -
The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.


To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.

The error message for the network adapter - Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

I just dont understand why it was working fine this morning then suddenly i cannot use it atall!!

I've tried all of that, I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver off the to link website for my network card but nothing changed if the network card was just broken would it still identify it as a network card
