Local internet only, no adapters showing in ipconfig
I was trying to install the iCloud desktop client on my PC, but I got a Windows generated error (something like "An error occured during the installation of assembly microsoft.vc80.crt"); I decided that if I restarted my PC it might work. In the process of restarting, Windows updates were installed. After login, the internet connection was showing as Limited access only (something which has been happening a lot, but a restart of the router normally fixes it - I think my router is really rubbish when more than 8 or so devices are trying to connect. This time, a restart did nothing, and plugging an ethernet cable in also made no difference.
I have completed about 5 system restores to before the update and before other recent installs to see if I could fix it, but it seemed that the computer reinstalled the updates on restart, and it made no difference to the internet connection. I ran ipconfig /all to find almost no results. I have reset the winsock stuff that is recommended for problems similar to this on lots of forums and even tried a clean driver install (which actually made things worse - no networks were being found by the wireless at all, so I went to roll back to the previous driver, which was greyed out, so I restored again, now I get limited connectivity once more.
I should also mention that it still doesn't work in Safe Mode.
I have included a screenshot to show ipconfig /all results.
Something else to mention - I used to have McAffee, but uninstalled it and used the MCPR tool and then installed Comodo Internet Security, which was working really well with no issues at all. For some unknown reason, it has been uninstalled completely - it's not showing in Add/Remove Programs and the Start Menu shortcut goes nowhere. I have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, so have used that to scan for viruses this morning.
I am at a loss as to what to do, any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance!
