Ethernet not working in Bootcamp (windows 10)

Hello, I'm using a 2012 Macbook Air. It has 4gb of ram and 250gb of storage.


I installed Bootcamp (Windows 10) and my current problem is with the Ethernet. I'm using an Apple ethernet adapter that allows me to plug into my thunderbolt connection. However, Once I boot up in Bootcamp and then plug in my ethernet, there is no signal & it does seem to work. LAN adapter is not installed in windows.


It works perfectly fine in MacOS.


Has anyone encountered this problem?

I added "not". Hot-plugging TB-to-Ethernet is not supported on Macs older than 2014. It must be plugged in before Windows is booted.
