Computer does not connect to the network via Lan or Wi-fi

[EricTrov]

I updated the HP Support Assistant yesterday on my OMEN PC 880, and when I booted up my computer today it would not connect to my network via Ethernet or by Wi-Fi.

I tried to update the drivers, but I get the following error messages:

"There might be a problem with the driver for Ethernet adapter"

"There might be a problem with the driver for Wi-Fi adapter"

Other computers and CE  that are on my network that use the Ethernet and Wi-Fi  are working perfectly. 

My  computer has a Realtek RTL8822BE 802.11ac PCle adapter.

What is the best way to fix/update this driver.  Obviously I cant do an update on the OMEN PC 880, since it doesn't connect to the internet, so I'll have to download the fix onto a thumb drive and install it from there.

Has anybody else had this issue when they updated the HP Support Assistant?

Thanks
