Hey there! I heard you're facing a tricky problem with your new PC setup. Let's break it down together. You've got everything set up, but you're running into some issues that aren't clear. It sounds like the system isn't recognizing network adapters, which is causing trouble with drivers and updates. Have you tried restarting the PC or checking if the network connection is stable? Also, make sure the Windows installation is clean before reinstalling drivers. If you're still stuck, sharing more details about your hardware or the exact error messages might help someone assist you better. You're not alone in this!

I just resolved the problem. While using the UEFI, I verified again whether the adapter was off and discovered a setting named "Network stack." Turning it on revealed two new options: "Ipv4 and Ipv6 PXE Support." I activated both, restarted into Windows, and everything functioned correctly. Interestingly, this setting wasn't enabled by default—I had reset the CMOS on my motherboard and didn’t recall enabling it before. I’m hoping this could assist others facing the same issue. Cheers.
