I was playing around trying to connect to the WiFi pineapple via WiFi again, and I screwed up my Ethernet by accident. The only adapter I can diagnose that has something wrong is Ethernet. Here are my network adapters:
Here is the error I get when trying to diagnose it:
When I try to fix it as an administrator:
I also tried this in Command Prompt:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
Resetting Interface, OK!
Resetting Unicast Address, OK!
Resetting Neighbor, OK!
Resetting Path, OK!
Resetting , failed.
Access is denied.
Resetting , OK!
Restart the computer to complete this action.
At that point, I realize it's as if I don't have permission as an administrator to fix my own computer. I tried this command:
ipconfig /all >C:\pingresult.txt
In the outputted file I got this under the Ethernet sections:

Have you tried to uninstall the drivers for the network card and then scan for hardware changes in the computer management console in Windows? – Richie086 – 2015-12-26T03:14:30.450
Could you provide a link to a YouTube video on how to do all of that so I can do it and fix my computer? When I scan for hardware changes, then do I get to reinstall the whole thing and along with it comes Ethernet? Is that the idea? – mace – 2015-12-26T05:14:30.007
whatever it is, your title seems absurd – barlop – 2015-12-26T05:21:31.983
@Richie086 I don't see a "scan for hardware changes" in computer management, are you sure you got that right? I see a "scan for hardware changes" in device manager(at least after teh name of the comp is clicked). – barlop – 2015-12-26T05:25:42.820

– Richie086 – 2015-12-26T05:27:59.467I did that. It didn't work. Is there any way to reinstall every protocol that comes with windows. I tried doing a clean install of windows 10 and it still didn't work. – mace – 2015-12-27T01:01:47.723
Geek Squad also couldn't fix it. – mace – 2015-12-27T01:01:56.373
Geek squad could not fix it means nothing, those folks are some of the worst techs I've ever had the misfortune to meet. – Richie086 – 2015-12-27T11:24:41.020
