How to enable internet connections in CMD

Anonymous

I wanted to uninstall my GPU drivers and reinstall them, so I got into safe mode but before I manually disabled internet connections on the control panel. Then a message appears "something happen and your pin isn't available" I've tried many solutions to this, the only ones I can try requires internet access, but I currently can't access to internet since I disabled connections as I said before. So I was wondering if there's a way to enable these connections disabled from the control panel using CMD. I've already try some, but nothing has worked.

    Hi, DAVID0929. My name is Ivan, and I am an Independent Assessor. I'd be more than happy to assist you. I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this issue. Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to help you.

    Make sure you are running CMD as administrator.

    1. Press the Windows key, type "cmd", right-click on "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator".
    2. Type the following command and press Enter:

    netsh interface set interface "Ethernet" enabled

    Replace "Ethernet" with the actual name of your network adapter (e.g. "Wi-Fi", "Local Area Connection")

    1. Restart your computer and check if your Internet connection is restored

    If you have a Windows installation DVD or USB, you can boot from it and try to repair the system or enable network adapters from there.

    1. Restart your computer and hold down the Shift key to enter the Advanced Boot Options menu. Select "Troubleshoot" -> "Advanced Options" -> "Command Prompt".
    2. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:

    runas /user:Administrator cmd

    You will likely be prompted for the Administrator password. Enter it and press Enter.

    1. If successful, a new Command Prompt window should open with Administrator privileges.
