Ok so this is the first time this has ever happened to me after installing Ubuntu on many laptops. Basically I am dual booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 and everything has been working fine and well. Iv'e been using Windows a bit more lately which had me not use Ubunut for about two weeks. Today I decided to use Ubuntu however when I first logged in my Logitech wireless mouse wasn't detected. It was a bit strange since it has always worked with both windows and ubuntu. I didn't think much of it so I continued using the laptop with the built in mousepad. When I logged in the first thing that popped up was that networking was activated but it wasn't detecting any networks which seemed strange. A few moments later I plugged in my external hard drive and it didn't detect it. I tried a few flash drives and no luck. The final things that randomly stopped working are the function keys which serve as shortcuts for volume, brightness etc. At this point I was just thinking a reboot should do the trick but nope, I rebooted four time and no luck. Perhaps I need to reinstall the drivers but it's really weird since it has been working perfectly until now.
What do you guys think?
[Notes]
Everything I mentioned is working in Windows 10 so I don't think it's hardware related.
My Laptop specs if needed:
Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5102 AMD A8-6410 APU 12GB DDR3 RAM 1TB Hard Drive
[UPDATE]
Adding to the networking issue I have tried to use a wired connection via ethernet in order to connect to the internet but it's not even detecting that. I have also noticed that Ubuntu is running extremely slow which is a first. I have tried going into the Ubuntu advanced options in the boot grub and I have tried using the "activate networking" option but i'm getting a network error. This is becoming quite stressful and I hope there is a solution or I will just have to reinstall Ubuntu which I hope I don't resorte to...
