Windows 10: Internet connection gone after yesterday's update

Good morning tenforums,
this happens practically every time a windows 10 update is pushed onto my dell-pc. After I jiggle around with all sorts of things for days, internet is suddenly on again, no idea why. Quite time-consuming affair, and gets on my nerves as well. After the latest update yesterday: same story, no internet. Is there anything I could do to fix the problem this time once and for good? Would be grateful for suggestions!
Kind regards from Schweinfurt

Update breaking internet March 2017

Yeah that's what I did yesterday evening, the problem was gone after the fresh install but after a while windows downloaded the updates in the background, and when i would restart it would apply the updates and no more internet.

Uninstall the updates, restart, internet is back to working.

It's strange because Windows can see that the connection is there, the icon on the lower right shows no sign of error or limited availability, it looks like its connected but i can no longer browse webpages or access dropbox, googledrive etc.

 

internet connecting automatically

I have got N95 from Orange, yesterday i updated its firmware and after that it connects to internet and uses all the profiles in the access points option one by one, its costing me a lot, kindly guid ASAP as I have gone through all the option which
states connect to internet, where i have selected "Always ask", but still the issue exists, kindly help

 

Hello, do you use a proxy or VPN? Something that changes your internet connection settings? E.g.

 

Hi Dalchina,
thanks for replying: I use lan, not wlan, however can't find the screen you show above. found VPN though and that is on. what I noticed after the last update: I had managed to reset the windows firewall from public to private using regedit (found a recipe on the internet), the settings are the same, 1, yet the windows firewall shows the old status: firewall setting is public again. Do you think that might be a reason?

 

Hi you can get to that from IE, Tools, Internet options, or Control Panel, Internet Options.

I would guess you'd be safer to ensure no VPN was in use.

I can't comment on your regedit etc.. what is true is that the 'Win 10' bits of Win 10 get upset quite easily if you poke them.
If you see what I mean...*Biggrin

 

Hi Dalchina,
sorry for the delay in answering: I have disabled VPN and have found the internet-properties screen. The upper box is ticked, however, the one below cannot be ticked/activated. Could have to do with the missing address: Where does that come from? Perhaps Window 10 did dislike by poking: I have redone my changes to the firewall settings from private to public. But still no internet on the my Dell.

 

Hi, ignore the address in my example- that was just to show you the dialogue. I have okayfreedom VPN installed.

Here are some basic 'repair' ideas:
1. Rt click the network icon, click Troubleshooting and let it run. See if that helps.
If still no internet - quite possible:
2. Download and install Tweaking.com's free repair utility (rather good in what it does).
It's got several cautious stages. Follow them

Select ONLY Network repair; use that and follow instructions.

(That's the easy way, else you're into trying several sets of command prompt sequences).
