  2. My reliable ethernet connection no longer works

    Hi Marcia,

    To better understand the query, please answer the following questions:

    • After restarting is your computer in normal mode or not?
    • Are you getting any error message?

    I suggest you to reset the modem\ router and check if the Ethernet connection works or not.

    If still the issue persist then I suggest you to follow the steps from the below article
    “Fix network connection issues” and check if it helps.

    Thank you

    Windows 10 apps not working on the Ethernet Windows 10 VPN internet connection

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    In order to assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, please let us know:




    • Does this issue occur only with Microsoft apps?

    • Are you able to browse any website while connected to internet?

    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
      Enter.



    As you have mentioned that you are connected to internet with Ethernet via Windows VPN, I would suggest you
    try disconnecting VPN and see if you are able to access the applications.



    We await your response.



    Regards,
