Windows 10: Ethernet says it is connected but internet isn't working

I've been trying to work through this issue for about a week now. My ethernet is shows it is connected, but is unable to open any web pages or actually show a connection.

I have tried:


Running Network Diagnostics (multiple/differing errors every time, and sometimes no errors but still no function) - seems like the diagnostic has 0 idea what is wrong


Resetting Modem/Router (including calling my service provider to have them reset it as well)


Updating my Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller (current version: 10.35.510.2019)


Going through steps to fix "Ethernet does not have a valid IP Configuration" (a repeated error message)

• ncpa.cpl > properties > messing with IPV4 (including both automatic and manual IP address info)
• netsh and ipconfig commands in the command prompt (continuing to recieve this error message from ipconfig /renew or /release:
• No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection* 2 while it has its media disconnected.
• No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection* 3 while it has its media disconnected.

most recent problems:

"Ethernet does not have a valid IP configuration"


I'm really not sure what to do here. If anyone has any advice or knows what I can do here, I really need help

:)

 

Printer isn´t working after latest update.

After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

 

Ethernet shows red X and does not appear in settings, but still works


Not sure why this is happening. I have working ethernet and am connected, it works fine. But the taskbar icon shows a red X over it, and the tooltip says "Not Connected - No connections are available". Looking in "Network & Internet", ethernet is not even listed there. And before anyone suggests wireless interference .. this PC does not have a wireless card or integrated wireless.

 

Cortana isn´t working

When I hit enter, it did something, but there´s still no Cortana, even after restart. So I tried it again, but now it says that it failed, because it´s already installed and it´s working in PC. So it should work, but Cortana still isn´t here.
