lost network connections

I shut down my computer and it had updates to install. the screen showed:
"do not unplug or shutdown while your computer installs updates, Installing 1 of 1"
it stayed like that for a couple hours and I figured their was a problem so I unplugged and removed the battery to restart the computer.
When the computer restarted all of my network connections were lost. i could not connect wireless or hard wired to the internet.
when i went to the network and sharing none of the icons were there.
when i click diagnose and repair the message shows
"windows has confirmed that this computer is currently experiencing a network connectivity problem"
"windows has found a problem that cannot be repaired automatically"

everything was working great the night before and after the failed update my networks dont work. I am assuming it has to do with the failed update.

Welcome
Try to go back a few days before the problem with system restore. This, I think, is the easiest way to fix it.

I checked and system restore was turned off.

Try F8 as it starts and "last good known"

that didn't work.
when I open task manager and click on networking tab it shows a blank screen with the message "No active networking adapters found" ?

Could be the account got corrupt with the abrupt shutdown.
Try to open a new user account and see if things are any better
also
Try and see if an SFC command helps
