Windows 10 Intel(R) 1211 gigabit network connection

[Aloek]

I can't connect to the internet.

In device manager there is a exclamation on intel gigabit network connection & Under device status it says windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware (code 37).

I tried disable device, Uninstall then restart pc, the sfc scannow and changing ethernet cable. It's not the cable cause I can connect my laptop and the internet works. Command prompt found a corrupt file but couldn't fix it.

How can I fix the intel 1211 gigabit network connection?

To troubleshoot and resolve the issue with the Intel Gigabit Network Connection that is showing an error code 37 (Windows Cannot Initialize the Device Driver for This Hardware), you can follow these steps: 1. Reinstall the Driver: - Right-click on the device in Device Manager, then select "Uninstall device." - Restart your computer. Windows may automatically reinstall the driver. - If not, download the latest driver from the Intel website, then install it manually. 2. Update the Driver: - Visit the Intel Driver & Support Assistant website. - Use the tool to check for driver updates. Download and install any available updates for the network adapter. 3. Roll Back the Driver: - If the issue started after a driver update, consider rolling back to the earlier version: - Right-click on the network adapter in Device Manager, then select "Properties." - Go to the "Driver" tab and choose "Roll Back Driver" if the option is available. 4. Check for Windows Updates: - Make sure Windows is up to date. Install any pending updates to ensure system stability and compatibility with the network adapter. 5. Run Hardware Troubleshooter: - Open the Settings app (Win + I), go to "Update & Security" > "Troubleshoot." - Run the "Hardware and Devices" troubleshooter to detect and resolve hardware issues. 6. Check Network Adapter Settings: - Verify that the network adapter settings are correct, including IP configuration, DNS, and gateway settings. 7. Physically Inspect the Adapter and Ports: - Ensure there are no visible hardware issues with the network adapter or its connection to the motherboard. 8. Test in Safe Mode: - Boot into Safe Mode and see if the network adapter functions without issues. This can help determine if software conflicts are causing the problem. If these steps do not resolve the code 37 error with the Intel Gigabit Network Connection, it's possible that there's a deeper hardware or compatibility problem. In such cases, contacting Intel support or seeking assistance from a professional technician might be necessary.
