Can I not just delite the two Winsoc files that are the culprits from registry and replace them with the same from my second computer with copy and paste? Is there smething wrong in my reasoning?

Thanks for the help!! Method 9 really worked for me.

Network protocols missing issue isn’t related to the connectivity. Reset the HOTSPOT, and see if your adapter supports the frequency being broadcasted by the hotspot.

Just did a system restore and that didnt work either

none of the solutions have worked for me.

You can try the next method.

So when I go to the 26 folder it says it cannot find the file specified…

skip that method, if it doesn’t apply

In step 5 when I get to code identifiers there is no more folders, I can’t get to 0/paths. Help?

I tried all of the above, nothing worked. What I did do was uninstall my network adapters from device manager and then I went to the Asus website (I have an Asus laptop), looked for an old driver from Windows 8.1 (I’m now running windows 10), installed that and it all works. Ps. The problem driver I had was Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller if it makes a difference.

Has anyone figured out why this happens? I get this error randomly when I turn on my computer. Really frustrating

19

Winsock reset and full shut down worked.

I have tried every thing and still nothing.
