Solved Network adaptor: Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet disable

Hi. Thanks for allowing me join this forum. On my home/office based HP PC (running Windows 10 Pro) I purchased and installed earlier today the 'AVG Driver Updater' tool. Installed and ran it, but it stopped on the last identified required update (of 18) - Windows Update Agent. At the outset of the process advised on screen that a change was going to be made to the current Internet access on the PC. Default would, for the period of the updates, be through AVG not Windows (or something like that) and on completion of upgrades would revert back. Now I cannot get the Ethernet adaptor on the PC to (re)start. Showing a code 10 error. Means no Internet access possible. I've tried the restore option on 'AVG Driver Updater', rebooted etc. I can see on the Ethernet card in Device Manager no MAC address is specified. Is that an issue? Not seeing any other issues on Device Manager. Appreciate any steers anyone can give me. Many thanks. David

 

Thanks @TerryNet and @Triple6 for your responses. I tried the Windows restore and that brought the card back to full life. Relieved! Cautions next time I use any utilities.
