WiFi and Ethernet both not working anymore (WIN 11)
My nephew was gaming on my PC a few days ago and according to him he was messing with some VPN settings, then Windows updated and now I don't see the WiFi option anywhere at all. I tried connecting with an Ethernet cable too but nothing works either. I spent basically a whole day on YouTube and Reddit trying to fix it, tried resetting advanced internet settings, checking wifi services, disabling/enabling the adapter, scanning for hardware changes, updating the wifi driver, disabling/enabling the device, checking power management, uninstalling the wifi driver, running the windows troubleshooter, resetting network, fixing socket api errors, enabling windows services, installing the latest driver, and doing a power flush, and still nothing. I attached some screenshots, first one is Network Connections which is completely empty with no adapters showing at all, second is the quick settings panel which has no wifi icon just a no internet globe, third is the Network & Internet settings page saying not connected and that I'm not connected to any networks, and the last one is Device Manager showing all my network adapters (wifi, ethernet, even the VMware virtual ones) all sitting there with yellow warning triangles on every single one of them. Since literally every adapter is broken at once but none of them show up in Network Connections I'm guessing this isn't just a bad driver and is more likely something with the network stack getting corrupted or a leftover VPN driver conflict from whatever he installed. Anyone dealt with this before or know what else I can try?
