Windows 10: Windows 10 fails to recognise my INternet connection

Since the most recent update of my HP desktop to Windows 10 Home February 2020 the system indicates that I have no Internet connection - even though my Ethernet connection to my router is still working.


I can still connect to the Internet using Edge perfectly normally and I can access One Drive using File Explorer. However within applications like Word I get messages saying that I don't have an Internet connection. Using my Surface which uses a Wifi connection, rather than Ethernet, I don't get these messages.

Upgrading to Windows 10 from windows 7 and losing internet connection

A couple of days ago I upgraded my desktop to windows 10 after getting one of those MS prompts. However now I cannot access the internet and suspect the drivers from the Gigabyte GA-MA790X-ud4 motherboard does not support the internet drivers required. Searching the manufacturers website has not given me any joy either. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

 

Why does Windows 10 not recognise that I am connected to the internet?

Gave all of these a try. No change.
