Windows 10: Many apps not able to connect to internet when updating

Hi everyone,

A couple of months back my laptop stopped connecting to our wireless router, so I got around it by using my phone's mobile hotspot to connect to the WIFI.

Recently I've noticed that a couple of apps can't update and that they can't connect to the internet. Any thoughts on how to rectify this?

I've checked my firewall and intentionally added two of them to the list but no go. I realised my connection was set to metered so changed this to unmetered, and also made it private.

Hoping you can give me some guidance on how to figure this out

Thanks!

:)

Is it possible to share internet connection via remote desktop?

RDP is not capable of Internet sharing, so you can't share Internet using RDP with standard applications. There are many way to share Internet from a Windows box to another one. I suggest you to use VPN. You should do following steps:

1. Run VPN Server on your server with unlimited internet access
   
2. Connect to VPN server from your limited computer
