Hi all, I be had my PC for about 4 years now. It has worked without issue. Yesterday, I restarted it, and when it booted up, the internet connection option was missing from my taskbar, and when I try to open it from the settings, it just instantly crashes. I have tried plugging my Ethernet cable directly into the PC, but it doesn’t seem to recognize it. Any ideas what may be happening?
