Windows 10: Update trashes my local network

Why does each update remove my local network settings and replace them with what Windows seems to believe I want or need?


I'm running Win 10 Pro on two computers and I want these to talk to each other, share files, etc. Shouldn't be that hard. However, after an update, they both have the static settings removed and replaced with automatic settings, which just don't function.


Here's my thoughts and new signature: Windows XP, the bug-free version of Windows 10.


Thanks

Windows 10 not receiving updates from Local Network ...!

Hi Anand,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per your description, I understand that you are unable to perform updates. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

I suggest you to try disconnect the computer from the local network and check whether you are able to perform updates.

If you are able to perform updates, then the issue might be due to local network settings.

I suggest you to run printer troubleshooter and check if it helps whether you are able to update.

• Type troubleshooting in the search bar.
• Select HomeGroup.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to run the troubleshooter.
• Check if issue persists.

If the issue persists, I suggest you to run Windows update troubleshooter for each computer.

Windows Update Troubleshooter.

• Type troubleshooting in the search bar.
• Select Troubleshooting.
• Select View all on the top left corner.
• Click Windows Update.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to run the troubleshooter.
• Check if issue persists.

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.
