I have a computer on the network that suddenly stopped connecting to the network. &nbsp;The icon in the lower right corner has a small red x in it.<br />
When looking at the status on the network adapter, the details page is blank.<br />
Nothing in the system devices is off side. &nbsp;The network adapter status is that the device is working.<br />
<br />
I tried a wireless adapter, and it could see the wireless sources, but could not connect.<br />
I removed the hard drive, temporarily installed another drive and installed windows 10 Pro version 1709.<br />
<br />
The network adapter works fine, so that would rule out a hardware issue.<br />
<br />
I will try a repair of the existing windows installation, but otherwise may have to do a clean install.<br />
<br />
The only errors showing up in the event logs are to do with the roaming profile not being found which makes sense.<br />
<br />
If I try disable the firewall, the mouse pointer turns to a circle and pulsates with the computer freezing<br />

the computer runs SEP 14.0.1 the newest release
