The previous day I went through the "My Documents" folder on my computer just to delete files that I don't need and have never used. That took about 10 minutes then it was time to go to the recycle bin and permanently delete it. Next day, I boot up my computer and launch chrome, I get the Web page not avaliable but I look down and see I'm connected. So I try Firefox, nothing, Spotify, nothing. I've had this issue before, but that solution didn't work this time. So is there another solution to fixing this?

I feel like I deleted something I wasn't supposed to but it's a documents folder.

And yes I did see the other posts about this before posting this.

Have you tried rebooting the rig and/or your modem/router? Also check in device manager and see if the LAN driver appears to be working, can try uninstalling the driver (but don't delete it. Then reboot and wait a couple minutes, it should reinstall itself
