If your network suddenly disappeared on your Windows 8.0 desktop after changing the graphics card and you prefer not to download drivers from the internet, here are some alternative approaches that you can try to resolve the issue:

Method 1: Check Network Adapter Settings​

1. Device Manager Check:
   • Press Windows + X and select "Device Manager."
   • Expand the "Network adapters" section to see if your network adapter is listed. Look for any warning symbols or errors.
   []Update/Reinstall Network Drivers:
   • Right-click on the network adapter and choose to update or reinstall the driver.
   • Select the option to automatically search for updated drivers from Windows Update.

     Method 2: System File Checker​

   []Run SFC Scan:
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
   • Run the command: sfc /scannow to scan for and repair any corrupted system files that may be causing network issues.

     Method 3: Network Troubleshooter​

   []Run Network Troubleshooter:
   • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.
   • Run the network troubleshooter to identify and fix common network problems automatically.

     Method 4: Restore to Previous State​

   []System Restore:
   • Perform a system restore to go back to a configuration where your network was functioning correctly.

     Method 5: Verify Physical Connections​

2. Check Network Connections:
   • Ensure that network cables are firmly connected to your computer and router/modem.
   • If using Wi-Fi, verify that the wireless network adapter is enabled in Network Connections. By trying these methods, you can troubleshoot the network disappearance issue on your Windows 8.0 desktop without having to download drivers from the internet. If the problem persists after attempting these steps, consider seeking further assistance from a professional technician or your computer manufacturer for tailored support.
