The "media disconnected" message can have a couple of meanings: Either the cable really is disconnected or DHCP has been disabled.

ipconfig /all

will report the DHCP status of all the adaptors amongst a shedload of other stuff. If it says "no" then you'll need to re-enable DHCP.

It's possible that an update has changed this setting for the wired connection particularly if you were using WiFi at the time.

I'm not running W10 so I can't tell you where this setting is.
