Causas Identificadas

Hardware Failure of the Network Adapter

The physical network adapter itself may have failed due to age, power surge, or manufacturing defect. This would explain why it's not appearing in Device Manager at all.

Corrupted System Files or Operating System Issue

60%

Critical operating system files related to hardware detection or driver management might be corrupted, preventing the network adapter from being recognized. This could be due to a faulty Windows update or malware.

Motherboard or Chipset Issue

If the network adapter is integrated into the motherboard, a problem with the motherboard itself or its chipset could be the root cause. This is a more serious hardware issue.
