Why is my LAN cable plugged in but not used?

Today i tried to connect my lan cable to my laptop but somehow it is not used i hope someone can help me.

You mean that the computer does not access the LAN connection or does not establish it?

You probably have to activate this first or the adapter…

What do you mean "not used"?

Will the network connection continue via WLAN?
In this case, you may have to switch off WLAN first in order to be able to enter into the cable network connection.

There you can, if you use Win…

To all. My LAN cable is simply not recognized, I'll see if it works with the picture, etc.

Well. Of course you have to look a little what might be there. So we can't help much…

Thank you very much the picture that helped me on the jumps! Everything works now!

See image:

The symbol actually means a connection via cable.
How do you come to the conclusion that it is not used?

In the TaskManager you could see which connection is actually being used.

It works again when I asked the question if this symbol was not there, then I carried out a diagnosis, but it worked again

Where is the other end? And do you have another device that you can use to test the cable?

Class. Have fun with a stable network connection…
