    Internet randomly stops working on PC (works fine on other devices)


    So it just happens 100% random out of no where and I get this error:

    (note i ripped this image off google but this is the exact thing that happens)

    so I found TWO temporary fixes.

    One: unplug router / modem for 10 sec and replug

    Two: Go to the network settings and disable the ethernet (note I am connected via ethernet cable, 100% wired)

    disable it

    Enable it BUT i have to enable it about 30 times before it enables.

    When it's enabling, it doesn't enable, it shows the message that it's enabling and I refresh the background and it's still disabled. I have to keep enabling until it randomly works (if anyone knows why I have to keep enabling it 30 times for it to actually enable please let me know)


    why does my internet randomly stop on my PC? it works fine on other devices while its not working on my PC and it takes forever to enable the ethernet after i disable it.

    Mobile Hotspot Not Sharing Internet

    I run windows 10 Anniversary edition with dual booted linux mint.

    Until now the mobile hotspot button worked fine sharing my ethernet connection to all my connected devices.

    Randomly it stopped working.

    Now the hotspot turns on fine, ethernet works but no shared device gets internet access. I made no changes to my computer, it just stopped working.

    To fix it I started a hotspot using cmd but even that doesnt share internet, i can connect to the hotspot in both cases and connected devices show up as well, only internet doesnt work.

    Please help.

    First off, can you update your system specs with all available info, please? This will go a long way to helping us help you.

    System Specs - Fill in at Ten Forums

    Second, have you tried updating the drivers for your ethernet hardware?

    IMHO, this sounds like a hardware issue. Of course, try updating the drivers first, this may help fix the issue.

    Other things that may help is taking care of any system file corruption.

    Start off by opening a admin command prompt and typing: sfc /scannow. If you have system files that are corrupted, this should fix it.

    After that, type: dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth. This will fix any component store corruption.

    Then, type: chkdsk C: /scan. If this comes up with errors, type: chkdsk C: /F /R. IT will ask to schedule the scan for the next restart. Say yes, then restart and let it do the scan.

    There are a multitude of issues that can be fixed by these three simple steps.

    Make sure the device you are using isn't set to turn off device to save power.

    In your pic you have 2 Ethernet internet devices. Ethernet 2 looks like it is your device you use to connect to the internet with.
    Under Network Adapters, right click Ethernet 1 and choose to Disable it. See how that works.

  12. Looks like your SFC found some issues. Sometimes it takes running it more than once to fix everything. Like I had suggested before, run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth. After running this, run SFC again and see if it can fix all the issues.

    Also, I did the chkdsk C: /F /R but it didn't do anything.

    It got stuck at 21% every single time and when ever I restart my PC it constantly starts scanning. Not sure how to stop it.

    After you have tried the other suggestions and are still experiencing networking drops, if you are connecting wirelessly, look into tweaking your adapter's signal configuration. You can easily change the intensity of your Roaming Broadcast. I implemented this fix with outstanding results. If your network connection is Ethernet, unplug the RJ45 interface and let the copper discharge its capacitance for at least 10 minutes, reinsert the Ethernet cable, reboot or rescan to acquire adapter autoconfig; then your networking should respond like new.
