Hello, I recently upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10 a couple months ago via the free update. Windows 10 was going great until 2 months ago when my USB wifi card and my Ethernet decided not to connect to the internet. When I use my wifi card I can connect to my router and everything shows up I just can't load a page, same thing for when I try hook up my computer via Ethernet. Its not network because I have the same problem getting my desktop to work at my other house. I should also like to mention that for about a year my computer would always disconnect every 10-60 minutes from the internet and I would have to reinsert my card to get internet.

Somehow managed to fix this problem, I uninstalled a free antivirus (avast) and my internet magically came on. There was no problem with my windows firewall so I assumed my internet connection was getting blocked out by Avasts and I guess I was right. If anyone has a similar problem I'd recommend doing what I did or reinstalling your motherboard drivers.
