Guys, I’m getting a code 56 on my ethernet network adapter. I’ve tried a network reset, then restart, uninstall device, disable then enable, unplug, replug cable, what do I do?
Windows 10
Killer E2400 ethernet controller
#ethernet driver code 56

Alright I dug up like twenty thousand posts and never got anywhere. I literally tried everything so rn I’m reinstalling windows, I’ll update you guys on how it goes
Ah reinstalling failed
Thats neat
Cant screenshot cause no internet ofc
I have found the forbidden pendrive
I’m going to find the least shady windows installer and reinstall, updates after, but I’ll be here in case someone can help

Just use the windows media creation tool
You don’t actually need a key to use windows

I’ve reached the point where even the bios doesn’t load and is just a black screen
I’m gonna try entering the mode from restart
Alright that helped but the pendrive installer doesn’t work as far as I can tell lmao
Well damn

What did you use to make it
tight copper
Etcher
I’m on mac ofc cause I have no other windows pc
Or any other computer for that matter
tight copper
I wouldve used rufus but there’s no Mac equivalent
stoic oriole
Etcher is the Mac equivalent
tight copper
It just skips my pendrive and loads into windows even though its first in the boot order

Boot to the usb with the boot menu if you can
tight copper
Wdym?
tight copper
Boot to the usb with the boot menu if you can
?
stoic oriole
instead of changing the boot priority in the bios
select the usb specifically for boot in the boot menu
should be an f key for that

can you download stuff on your windows install?
or is the ethernet error preventing that
tight copper
Its likely an issue with the iso i downloaded
tight copper
can you download stuff on your windows install?
Nope
No internet
No ethernet
No nothing
stoic oriole
Its likely an issue with the iso i downloaded
where did you download it from
stoic oriole
go to microsoft.com
tight copper
I am downloading it there this time
tight copper
go to microsoft.com
Btw do you have any fixes so I dont have to reinstall?
stoic oriole
do you have a vpn?
tight copper
Nope
If I go into my network connections theres literally nothing
But in device manager I have the ethernet controller as a network adapter
But whenever I try to update it and install the driver it says for like 10m that its installing the driver and then it says it can’t and code 56
stoic oriole
youve probably reset the network multiple times?
tight copper
Yep
tight copper
Alr i went into bootcamp(I forgot I had it)
I’m going to try the media creation thing from there
tight copper
Alright i finished reinstalling, everything works now
If this breaks again I’m installing Linux or something
