I wanted to repurpose my old tablet as a drawing pad, so I installed a program called Weylus. It operates over the local network and allows input from the tablet. After deciding I didn't like the software, I uninstalled the executable, but it seems to have messed with my network settings. Now my Ethernet IPv4 won't connect to the internet, even though IPv6 works fine and Wi-Fi is still functional. I've tried various troubleshooting methods but haven't formatted my Windows yet. Is there a way to resolve this issue?

Did the installation have an uninstaller option? Sometimes, programs can leave leftover files or settings. If it didn't, you'll want to check and possibly remove any remnants of the program manually.
It sounds like there might be a virtual adapter or switch that Weylus created. You should check your network settings to see if you can find and remove anything unusual. Also, ensure your IPv4 settings are set to automatic to get an IP address assigned by your router.
Running 'ipconfig /all' in the command prompt is a great way to diagnose the problem. It lets you see what IP address you have. If you're getting an IP that doesn't match your network, assigning it statically to your router can often solve the problem, like you discovered!
