Windows 10: Lost access to Internet in very specific way

I recently installed an old Nvidia video card. Since having done that, if I leave the computer on idle for a while, then I will lose access to Internet.

But not all internet. I just realized, WhatsApp is still working fine. Windows thinks I have an internet connection, but I can't access any of the web in any we browser. So I thought it was maybe a port thing? I am medium savvy for tech stuff so I seem to recall port 80 was regular internet, and I checked cmd: netstat -ano, and didn't find anything using port 80 in that list.

Restarting my computer will definitely resolve the issue, but I'm just really hoping to have a way to reinitialize whatever it is that has turned itself off, or whatever it is. I tried disabling and re-enabling the network adapter, but that didn't work. That was before I realized WhatsApp still worked though.

Any ideas on how to solve this, or how to get internet back without restarting my PC?

Edit: as per usual, running network diagnostics didn't find any issue.

Open Internet Explorer, press Shift+Ctrl+P

Cannot access shared network drive


Personally, I wouldnt use Everyone. If anyone hacks into you, they have full access to everything and can demolish everything on your raid. I would rather set up accounts and access separately for each person. That way, I know who did all that damage. In the end with a little extra work, I feel more secure by using Authenticated Users.


If this helps.
step 1 create non-microsoft account and without email and address without admin rights
step 2 share a drive or folder to specific user account (if Everyone is listed, remove it)
step 3 set security > add Authenticated Users (if more than 1 account) or add specific users
step 3a remove Everyone from list
step 3b uncheck full control and write for all items listed except SYSTEM and Admin account.
step 4 right click Start > Computer Management > System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares ... to verify settings and change anything else. You can also see the number of connections to each share here.
