I recently did some cable management on my PC and unplugged everything for cleaning. After I plugged everything back in, I noticed that my AMD color profile settings were reset. The big issue, though, is that my Ethernet connection isn't working—it's showing a 'no internet connection' message, even though it recognizes the network. I tried power draining, resetting the router, and even reinstalling the drivers, but they keep coming back. I'm using Windows 11 Pro, so if that makes any difference, I'd love some guidance. Thanks for the help!

Regarding the color profile issue, it could be that you plugged the monitor back into a different port than before. But for the Ethernet, since you said the cable works on your laptop, it might be worth looking into the Ethernet port on your PC. Sometimes it can get dirt or debris that stops it from making a good connection. Maybe give that a clean?
Don’t forget that Ethernet cables can go bad, even if they’ve been stable for a long time. They can surprisingly fail while not being moved at all. If you can, test with a different Ethernet cable. If that doesn’t fix it, you might want to consider reinstalling Windows as a last resort. It's unusual, but it can resolve weird networking issues.
It sounds like you might have accidentally changed something while moving cables around. If your Ethernet is acting up, check to make sure the cable is securely plugged in on both ends. It's also possible that the cable itself is damaged, so trying a different cable might help. If that doesn’t work, consider checking your network adapter settings in Windows or even swapping in a new NIC if you have one handy.
