Yeah, so I went and updated my windows 8 pro to 8.1. Now everything else seems to work but the network. The Ethernet just says that Network cable is unplugged, even though it is plugged and I have tried different cord as well and I have tested that the router works. I have tried uninstalling the network drivers (Realtec PCIe GBE) and reinstall them with no success.

After installing drivers the Device Management gives error for it "Device could not be started. Code 10" Before 8.1 update I had rt630x64.inf, after update it was netrt630x64.inf, and after installing the latest driver rt630x64.inf. With rt630x64.inf there isn't any error, but it's still not just working.

  • New downloaded version: 8.020.0815.2013 (From Realtek website)
  • The driver before: 8.1.510.2013 (After updating the windows to 8.1)

I'm using Desktop PC, no VM. I dont have VirtualBox or Vmware installed.

I have checked from BIOS that the card is enabled.

I have booted in safe mode with network enabled. Says unplugged there as well.

I have put the power off for few minutes and put back on, no effect.

If anyone has any kind of suggestions, please tell.
