New PC No network capabilities whatsoever

[noble shuttle]

My motherboard is an asus prime Z690-A the cpu is intel i5 12600kf
After installing windows I couldn’t connect to Ethernet even though the cable was lighting up. I troubleshooted and it said properly installed network adapter not detected. I tried to download drivers on my external hard drive and install those but they didn’t work. I don’t know what to do next. Please help 😦

Alright so

Install snappy driver installer

https://www.glenn.delahoy.com/snappy-driver-installer-origin/

And when u first start the program

Click network drivers only

Wherever you downloaded the drivers for the internet

Download from there

And put it on external drive

[noble shuttle]

So I downloaded the installer am I supposed to get the driver packs too

[main stump]

Yes

Just get the network ones

[noble shuttle]

And to be clear I download all that and run it on my new pc

[main stump]

Yes

It should find the drivers

In driver packs

[noble shuttle]

If I don’t want to torrent them can I get the driver packs another way?

[main stump]

I think it’s just by torrent

That is why slow download

[noble shuttle]

Ok Ty will try this and lyk

Ok so I finished torrenting and I couldn’t separate the network drivers from the non network should I install all of them? Also tried installing one of the drivers called Ethernet controller but it failed?

So I just went out and got a WiFi adapter and once I connected to the internet my windows started updating and after that everything was solved thank you for the help!
