I remember there was bytes/packets sent/received since connection established in the past but I cannot find it in the adapter properties now.
BTW, when I hover over the network connection icon in the tray, it displays Network: Internet access, Unindentified network, No network access, yet, you see I have posted this question anyway.
David figured the screen I was looking. The problem was that status was not available in my case (for some bug in my Windows session).

How do I see the network adapter statistics in Windows 7 / 8 / 10?
Start "Control Panel" > "Network Connections"
Right click one of your network connections and select "Status"
This image is from Windows 7, but the dialog is almost identical in Windows 8 and 10.
2I think you might be after something like the result of the netstat -s command.
It will show you statistics like this:
IPv4 Statistics Packets Received = 125858 Received Header Errors = 0 Received Address Errors = 130 Datagrams Forwarded = 0 Unknown Protocols Received = 0 Received Packets Discarded = 315 Received Packets Delivered = 126500 Output Requests = 83395 Routing Discards = 0 Discarded Output Packets = 0 Output Packet No Route = 1 Reassembly Required = 0 Reassembly Successful = 0 Reassembly Failures = 0 Datagrams Successfully Fragmented = 0 Datagrams Failing Fragmentation = 0 Fragments Created = 0
IPv6 Statistics Packets Received = 7 Received Header Errors = 0 Received Address Errors = 0 Datagrams Forwarded = 0 Unknown Protocols Received = 0 Received Packets Discarded = 2 Received Packets Delivered = 117 Output Requests = 444 Routing Discards = 0 Discarded Output Packets = 0 Output Packet No Route = 6 Reassembly Required = 0 Reassembly Successful = 0 Reassembly Failures = 0 Datagrams Successfully Fragmented = 0 Datagrams Failing Fragmentation = 0 Fragments Created = 0

TCP Statistics for IPv4 Active Opens = 1232 Passive Opens = 4 Failed Connection Attempts = 1647 Reset Connections = 121 Current Connections = 28 Segments Received = 104462 Segments Sent = 66346 Segments Retransmitted = 1695
TCP Statistics for IPv6 Active Opens = 0 Passive Opens = 0 Failed Connection Attempts = 0 Reset Connections = 0 Current Connections = 0 Segments Received = 0 Segments Sent = 0 Segments Retransmitted = 0
UDP Statistics for IPv4 Datagrams Received = 26472 No Ports = 297 Receive Errors = 18 Datagrams Sent = 15279
UDP Statistics for IPv6 Datagrams Received = 2 No Ports = 0 Receive Errors = 2 Datagrams Sent = 338Or if you want Layer 2 statistics, you can use netstat -e to get only those related to Ethernet:
Interface Statistics Received Sent
Bytes 604513390 48753903
Unicast packets 566790 389160
Non-unicast packets 81665 5275
Discards 0 0
Errors 0 0
Unknown protocols 0Quite simple once you know it and essentially the same way as in older versions:
Open the Network and Sharing Center (name might actually be different; not using English locale).
On the top left side bar there is an option to open the adapter settings. This leads you to the classic network listing.
Now double-click any adapter to get the classic property window with the adapter stats.
This question shows up in search results for dropped ethernet frames, so I'll add the only way I've found to get ethernet layer 2 stats (not layer 3+) on Windows (tested on 10, but might work on 7).
In Powershell:
Get-NetAdapterStatistics | Format-List -Property "*"Normally the dropped/error/retransmit stats are hidden, so piping into Format-List shows all stats.
