I've been dealing with Error 45 showing up on my network adapter every time I open an application, and it's been a real pain for the past month. Is there a fix for this issue? I would really appreciate any help!

Error codes 10 and 45 usually point to a hardware issue. However, there was a recent update from Windows that caused problems for many users with their Ethernet and Wi-Fi cards. If you can, try creating Hiren's Boot CD on a USB stick. It's a live OS based on Windows 11, so it can run without affecting your internal drives. Boot from it and check if your network card works fine there.

I will try that, thanks for the tip!
