Get-NetAdapter returned nothing

PowerShell Help

Yes I did trying this command

PS C:\Windows\System32> Get-NetAdapter -IncludeHidden
PS C:\Windows\System32>

Thanks anyway :slight_smile:

Hmm … what does this return:

(Get-Command Get-NetAdapter).Definition

Might be worth a shot to compare to a working system.

OK let’s get crazy. Run these commands and let’s see what is going on.

Set-PSDebug -Trace 1
Get-NetAdapter -IncludeHidden

Run the same thing in a working pc and you’ll see a lot more output. The net adapter cmdlet found no adapters. That’s wild since other commands do

28

yes, it shows much more stuff in a working pc…

Thanks all. I have resolved this issue by upgrading from Win10 to Win11 finally. Have a nice day!
