So I reset my computer a couple days ago but I realize that the WAN miniports wont enable, I have tried to get them to work but they just wont. I was wondering if anyone can give me a fix for this. Some help would be greatly appreciated.
 I am running Windows 10.

Right click on the non-working miniport, choose “Update Driver”.

You may update the driver either via Windows Update or from the website of the manufacturer.

Hi Meshech,

Error code 45 means WAN miniports was connected to this computer and now has been removed.

Code reference:

Please first verify the physical connection of the WAN and the computer is good, or check if any switches need to be turned on;

Then Open Device Manager, right click on your machine and select scan for hardware changes; see if the system could recognize it again;

In addition, try to update your Network Adapter drivers.
