Why is my command prompt not responding properly to ipconfig?
When I type ipconfig on my command prompt, it keeps telling me media disconnected even though my device is connected via Wifi.

The disconnected media is reported against your other NIC devices. Unless you plug in a CAT5/6 cable and wire into your router/a hub then you'll always see the ethernet port as disconnected.
You can filter the result set by passing in /showclassid as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/ipconfig

If you don't like seeing your disconnected adapters in ipconfig,
you could disable them in Device Manager, under Network adapters.
You will need to enable them again if, for example, you would like
to connect an Ethernet cable to your Ethernet port.
