Windows 10: STILL waiting for Microsoft to fix THEIR problem with local networks changing themselves to...

This has been reported NUMEROUS times here in the forums and yet the problem still remains. Rather than act like adults and accept responsibility for their errors Microsoft reps take the typical tech bro path and try and blame EVERY OTHER entity but themselves for the problem THEY created. REPEATEDLY, untested, hastily released updates are pushed to consumers containing bugs, and this is obviously yet another. All the threads reporting the issue are responded to with useless FAQ suggestions that do NOT resolve the problem and then Microsoft locks them and blocks the accounts. Pathetic.

Ethernet Light Orange/ "Local Area Network" Not in Network List

Last night I noticed my ethernet light on the back of my computer was orange. I did some research to find the reason. Some websites said it was an increased connection speed. Others said a problem with the connection.
The local area network is no longer in the list of network connections and the other computer in my house has a green light on the ethernet port.
I've used all the cmd.exe ipconfig steps suggested by websites. Flush dns, reset dns, etc. I've also used the network troubleshooter in windows10 which told me a problem was not found.
Nothing seems to change the light back to green. Can someone help me find the problem so I can fix it?
