Windows 10: Disconnects from Internet in sleep mode

I am running Win 10 Home Version 2004. Recently I have started to have a problem - when the computer goes into sleep mode it disconnects from the Internet. When I go to "Settings" the icons tell me that I am connected to the Internet via Spectrum and that my WiFi network is connected. But I still get a "Network Not Available" error message. I then have to re-start the computer to regain access to the Internet. My cable provider Spectrum assures me that the problem is not theirs. They told me to contact Microsoft tech support and that they could instruct me how to change the 'sleep settings.' Since I have not been able to get a response from MS, can anyone advise me how to correct this problem. TY.

Sleep Mode Disconnects Ethernet Internet Connection - An Oldie but a Goodie

Hi,

There's a possibility that your Ethernet connection is not enabled to wake on magic packet. For us to isolate this, let's look into the advanced settings of your network adapter. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Device Manager > Network adapters.
2. Right-click on your Ethernet connection and click Properties.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Under Property, scroll down and select Wake on magic packet.
5. Set the value to Enabled.
6. Click OK.

Once done, try to observe if Ethernet connection still disconnects if put to sleep mode.

Looking forward to your reply..

Regards.

Wi-Fi disconnects from internet after resuming from Sleep Mode

That seems to involve a restart.

There are quicker ways.

All that is needed is to disable the network adapter (ethernet or WiFi), and then re-enable it!
Lets do it manually:
*Start+R (Run shortcut) and type ncpa.cpl and press <enter> to bring up the Network Connections control panel:





Select either the WiFi adapter (this is commonly the adapter that gets confused), or Ethernet if that is problematic. From the toolbar that appears, select Disable this network device and the device is disabled:





Now select Enable this network device and the device is enabled and it should automatically connect within a few seconds. Sometimes it is necessary to select Connect to and select the WiFi network you want:





No restart required. See here for an even simpler way with a batch file:
