Windows 10: Media Disconnected on Windows 10

Hey guys.


Recently I did ipconfig /release in my command prompt because I was having issues, Upon doing this and doing ipconfig /renew it said "No operation can be performed on Ethernet while it has its media disconnected." I still have my IP Address and stuff but media is disconnected. (Im doing this on a Windows 10 PC?)

Faulty Windows Media Player

Windows Mesdis Player developed a fault (Played jerky an missed bits) so I down loaded Media Player 10.

It's no better. Any suggestions (I run Windows 98)

 

Media disconnected


I have just encountered a problem where I have no internet connection on Windows 10.
I have tried every last suggestion I found via my iPad search (lots of them) none of which solved the problem.
I get a main message of “media disconnected” but the cable is okay with a similar problem using a different cable.
Windows 10 is up to date, funny thing is Virgin Media says “connected but no internet”
I am at a loss what to try next seemingly exhausting all the theories.
If there are any suggestions whatsoever I will reply stating if I’ve tried it or not.
Thanks

 

IPCONFIG /ALL reveals Media State = Media Disconnected for many users

It is perfectly clear.

Look at my screen shot. The "Ethernet adaptor Local Area Connedtion" doesn't say media disconnected.

That is because there is a cable connected to that connection. That is where my internet and network is coming from. Because that connection doesn't say media disconnected, I have network access and internet access. If I unplug the network cable from my machine, and run it again, it changes to media disconnected.

When you add the /all switch to ipconfig, it shows you every network connection.

The isatap and tunnelling connections that it lists are NOT releated to your ISP. They are actually virtual connections created to handle sending IPv6 packets over a private IPv4 network. It only really applies to very specific conditions, and for the most part will always say media disconnected. You should ignore these, as they have nothing to do with if you are actually connected to a network or the Internet.
