Windows 10: No interent connection for ethernet after hibernation/gateway shutdown

I'm on Windows 10 1909 and I use this PC as a HTPC which I allow to hibernate after 30-minutes of inactivity, also, I have it set to reboot every other night. I have been shutting down my internet gateway every night now and the gateway is turned back on every morning.

Often, when I bring it out of hibernation, the network icon in the system tray claims that there is no internet connection; however, the gateway is on and I can run Firefox and browse the internet all I want.

I run the Hulu and the Netflix apps, however, when the system tray network icon says "no internet connection" the Netflix app (I run that more often than Hulu) says that it cannot connect to the internet. This is clearly not correct as I have no problems browsing with Firefox.

After waiting for some time, I am not exactly sure how long - sometimes it seems like about 10-minutes, Windows finally figures out once again that it has an internet connection and Netflix runs happily - even though Firefox had no problems running and browsing the internet since the PC came out of hibernation.

What I am wondering is if there is a way to set the network subsystem to check for an internet connection immediately or within a minute or so after the PC comes out of hibernation. Or, have the network subsystem check for an internet connection once every two minutes or something like that.

Thanks in advance!

Desktop Shutdown and Standby/Hibernate Icons

I discovered some time ago a simple means of adding two desktop icons to cover Shutdown and Standby/Hibernate. I now use these icons all the time as it avoids using the Start procedure, which I never use at all unless I wish to Restart immediately after shutdown. Even then, I tend to use my desktop icons. Just close the browser, click the desktop icon and it is done.

On your desktop, right click the free space, then click new shortcut, you get a Wizard, copy/paste the command for the location type from one of the below commands (in this case, %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState ). Then click Next. You are asked to give it a title - Standby, Hibernate or Shutdown, I suggest using "Standby/Hibernate", click Finish.

Shutdown: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s
Reboot: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r
Logoff: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -l
Standby: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState
Hibernate: %windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate
I have listed Hibernate for reference only, as the Hibernate desktop icon does not work for systems reasons, Hibernate can only be achieved by manually using the Power Options properties panel.

Use CNTRL+C to copy and CNTRL+V to paste.

Hibernate is automatic if the Hibernate box is checked in the Power Options properties panel. If the box is not checked, then Standby is automatic. You have to select this box to give you the option you want.

Standby is more convenient if you are using the PC constantly, it is a quicker recovery, but has a power trickle. For long periods of absence, use Hibernate, it is much slower in recovering, but effectively shuts your computer down.

The Power options panel is found by Control Panel>Power Options>Hibernate.

The two desktop icons created can be changed by Right clicking the icon then Properties>Change icon>Browse>Windows 32>shell32dll>select icon>OK>Apply>OK
You now have two brand new icons on your desktop for Shutdown and Standby/Hibernate. It works a treat.

My icons are :-

 

Unable to hibernate

I was unable to shutdown or hibernate after the latest build. The computer would keep presenting the login screen. Upon suggestions I disabled "fast startup". This fixed the shutdown problem as my computer now successfully shuts down but when I try to hibernate
one of two things happened. I am presented the login screen. Or sometimes the computer would shut down altogether.

I am running build 1709. I am also part of Windows Insider Program and am running build 17063.

I have tried most of the solutions mentioned on the forum including:

• "sfc /scannow"
• Disabling settings in inter power management device driver
• Tweaking settings in advanced power options
• Troubleshooting power options
• Disable "Fast Startup"

 

ETHERNET NOT WORKING - WIfi works fine .

Hey Dk Prajapati

When i follow you last step a window pops up that says "warning - Multiplr gateways are intended to provide redundancy to a single network (such as an intranet or the interent) . They will not function properly when the gateways are on two separate, disjoint
network (such as one on your intranet and one on the interent ) Do you want to save this configuration?

Then i gives me a yes or no option

Little bit confused as to this, what does this mean?

Suggestions on what i should do?

Cheers
