SOLVED Restore Network Protocols

[Robert Lowe Jr]

Trying to reinstall a WD MyBook external hard drive. Receiving the following "One or more network protocols are missing on this computer" Following diagnosis receiving "Restore network protocols to default settings", and "Windows Sockets registry entries required for network connectivity are missing". My computer is an HP Pavilion 23 all-in-one. My wireless router (connected with an Ethernet cord) is an ATT 67XHG8k.
Any help will be appreciated.

Try rebuildig the winsock catalog and the ip stack
Right click the start button and choose Command prompt (Admin) and in the command prompt window type
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
hit enter
netsh Winsock reset
hit enter
type
exit
hit enter
reboot
See if that helps.

On entering netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt I get the message "Requested operation requires elevation (run as administrator). I am automatically signed in to Windows 10 as administrator. It is my default setting as I am the only user. Any suggestion here?
