Hey everyone! I'm really stuck right now. A couple of days ago, my PC was working fine, but now I can't see any WiFi options or get my Ethernet connection to work. I've tried to update the network drivers through Windows 11 updates, but since I don't have any internet right now, I'm unable to do that. I've looked into WLAN AutoConfig and noticed it isn't running. When I try to start it, I get an 'Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.' I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers already, but it's still not working. I suspect I need to update the drivers, but without WiFi or Ethernet, I'm at a loss. Even when I connect the Ethernet, it says 'No DNS server assigned,' even after trying DNS addresses like 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, and 1.1.1.1. If anyone has ideas on how to get my WiFi back or get the Ethernet working, that would be awesome!

Why not use a USB flash drive? Download the drivers on another device, then transfer them with a USB drive to your PC.
You can download the necessary drivers using your phone and then transfer them to your PC with a USB cable. Alternatively, using USB tethering might allow you to connect your phone's internet directly to your PC, which could help with downloading the drivers.
Yeah, just plugging in your phone usually gives you enough connection to get the drivers. USB tethering would definitely be my go-to!
