Marvell AVASTAR Network Controller is Missing

Question

My Surface Pro 3 was fully functional lately. Had no problems with it lately and all of a sudden, my internet won't work. Went through Device Manager and found out that there is no Marvell AVASTAR Network Controller. Only 8 WAN Miniports. I was able to see the controller through hidden devices, and it said that the hardware is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)

I searched for a way to fix this and found that I can reinstall a rolled back version of the adapter using the drivers given by Microsoft. I uninstalled the Marvell controller and did as the site had said. After some reboots and an install, the Marvell driver was completely gone from Device Manager. I have no known way of fixing this as I have tried for hours with no solution.

I saw that once.  Fortunately I happened to have an ISO file available to use for an ISO upgrade repair procedure.

I have tried resetting it and it did nothing at all. I have not tried the reimaging because of the version of it. I would prefer having a higher version of Windows since there are specific apps that only run with that version.

Edition: Windows 10 Pro

Version: 1709

OS Build: 16299.371

OK i would recommend then doing a reset of your PC.

Go to start - settings - update and security - recovery.

Select the Reset this PC and click Get started.

You can choose the option to Keep your files.

But I would recommend that you save your data to a USB drive or the cloud first, just in case.

If that does not work then you will need to reimage the device.

Below is a link to download the recovery image for your Surface.
