And after this, or after deleting and re-installing the Dell driver (I unfortunately don't remember when), the ethernet device disappeared from the adapter settings. If Deep Sleep Mode is enabled, Please Plug the Cable". It asked me to remove the previous installation from Dell, and near the end, it gave me the error, " The Realtek Network Controller was not found. Then I went to the Realtek official website and downloaded the Win10 Auto-installation Program. (I don't remember if I attempted a roll-back, although if I did then it obviously didn't work either.) After restarting to come to the same result, I deleted the driver from Device Manager and re-installed it, which didn't work. It is visible in the Device Manager, so it is being recognized. In the Properties dialog box it gave me the option to disable it, which means that it thinks that the device is enabled, which it is not.
I enabled it but it still remained disabled. BTW, the device shows up as " Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller". After successfully installing almost all the drivers, I ran the Ethernet Controller Driver and after installing it, the ethernet device was disabled. Windows Update had taken care of the hardware but the versions were outdated, so I set to work. So after formatting and installing Windows 10 圆4 on my Dell Inspiron 3542, I decided to update/re-install the drivers from the official Dell download page. TL DR Messed around with the drivers, now the ethernet device doesn't show up in the network adapter settings, although it shows up in the Device Manager. Feel free to try all the other methods we've tried. Edit: In post #16, you'll find that the solution is to do a re-install of Windows.
