Hello,
I wanted to 'clean" my pc because it was full of viruses and programs I didn't need. So I removed everything by setting it back to factory mode. When I wanted to instal a network, my pc didn't know what it was it was blank. I skipped it and I could use my pc but without wifi ( you can't even find the wifi icon in installing, it's like it doesn't know what wifi is). I hope someone can help, I know it was stupid to do that, but I did it. Thanks in advance

Hi
Make, Model and OS please.
SKU: if possible by this method
WinKey + R and type
msinfo32
Read Line 9
System SKU: N6K07EA#ABU
Please do not post Serial Numbers.
Copy, Paste and Save in Notepad, as LBB.bat (not a .TXT) and double click to run.
Preferably run as an Administrator.
OR
Copy and use the individual command lines as needed.
Post anything non-personal, but relevant please.
@Echo OFF
getmac
netsh lan show interfaces
netsh wlan show interfaces
netsh wlan show drivers
PAUSE
msinfo32
PAUSE
systeminfo
PowerShell -Command "Get-NetAdapter"
PowerShell -Command "Get-NetAdapter -Name * | Format-Table -View Driver"
PowerShell -Command "GIP -Detailed"
PowerShell -Command "Test-NetConnection"

If you can begin posting some details we may get a result quite quickly.

Hey,
Thanks you for helping. I don't know much of computers so I will puts some photos with it so you can look. I did what you ask and than this black screen came and nothing happened except that they were words , see photo.
I don't know if its normal that the system SKU number is different. Apparently It doesn't work to add photos.
PC model : hp pavilion x360 convertible
Model: 13-s161nb
[edit]
P/N T1N28EA#UUG
Notice I am from Belgium so my pc is in Dutch that makes it way harder.
So I copied the SKU number (my pc that infound) in notepad and changed it to LBB.bat but nothing happened so I added that long code with powershell and stuff and that a black screen appears and says no network adapters found , the following command was not found: Lan show interfaces.
The wireless Autoconfig service (wlansvc) is not running , twice on screen, and then press any key to continue. I did that and new information appears but suddenly it disappeared.

Hi
So you have a HP Pavilion x360 - 13-s161nb (ENERGY STAR)
If you change the 'gb-en' to your local lingua franca then it may help. EG:
https://support.hp.com/be-nl/product/hp-pavilion-13-s100-x360-convertible-pc/8499316/model/9483803
So try
WinKey + R
type
cmd.exe pause
You get a screen, type the LBB.bat commands as and when
C:\>getmac
Physical Address Transport Name
=================== ==========================================================
48-48-48-48-48-27 \Device\Tcpip_{}
BB-BB-BB-BB-BB-28 Media disconnected
48-48-48-48-48-28 Media disconnected
Copy and paste like the above, or
C:\>getmac >> C:\Users\LBB\getmac.txt generates a text file in my (or Lynse) user area.
and it tells me there are 3 devices, Wi-Fi; Ethernet and Bluetooth.
No need for photos then, simple copy and paste via the >> REDIRECT command.

Hey
I'm so sorry but I don't understand what I have to do. So I did winkey r and typed the code then I got the black screen that says
C:\Users\Lynse>
But when i want to add the LBB it doesn't work. Can you maybe write it step by step because it's really hard for me to know what to do. When I typed a code wlan show interfaces etc. They said it wasn't running...
Thanks again:(

Hey,
So I did it and when I types netsh lan show interfaces , it says that that the wired autoconfig service (dot3svc) is not running.
Same for netsh wlan show drivers but then between brackets (wlansvc). At the end when I typed everything its says warning name resolution of internetbeacon.com.nsedge.net failed.
Thnx

So
Unless the Wi-Fi adapter has been physically changed, damaged or worked loose, we can try and bluff our way thru.
These are the drivers to download...........
Realtek Local Area Network (LAN) Driver -- 10.1.505.2015 Rev.C 12.7 MB Jul 24, 2015 Download
Worst case scenario you try the wrong one first.
The pictures may not be relevant, but the first one shows I have a Wi-FI.
2 & 3 are my final settings.
Number 4 is showing things can be hidden in Device Manager meaning you cant install them,
until you find them.
Please try this new approach and ask again as needed.

Hey,
I don't know why but I can't send pictures but when I went to view and then show hidden divices and then looked I couldn't see zyxel g-202. Also different from the picture that I dont have as much adapters as there only 5 , 3 aren't hidden but there is a warning sign next to it and 3 who were hidden. You send me also a couple of things that I should download on the pc but as u know I dont have wifi so I can't install it. Can I do it if i first install on a USB stick and then plug it in in the pc?
