Hi, I have an issue maybe someone can enlighten me on. I disabled my ethernet controller in windows because i dont use it, its an offline pc for music production. Yesterday when i started up my pc and got into windows, it detected the ethernet controller and ask if id like to install drivers for it, even though i already had installed the drivers and disabled the ethernet controller. I cancelled installing the drivers, rebooted and the drivers were back in my driver list but with a red X beside it because I disabled it. Why did windows detect the ethernet controller before that when the drivers were already installed, but disabled? any ideas?

tbh, i doubt anybody can tell. it's just one of those things. i take it that everything is fine now with disabling it?

yeah i did a few restarts and everything is running fine. probably a bug or something, but i was just curious as to why it did that. oh well
