    This all started after I disconnected my computer directly from the router and used a signal booster. When I turn on my computer, my profile pops up for me to sign in but it says that my computer is offline. I have tried uninstalling network drivers and reinstalling them but no luck. I have tried looking for updates on my computer but it says everything is up to date. I have tried to change it multiple times so it works but nothing has. I have also tried troubleshooting it but that also hasn't worked. My computer is set up with and ethernet cord connected to a signal booster, and the booster s

    2. Win+X->Control Panel->Netwok and Sharing Center
      Follow the screen shot. This should disable internet access from this PC but allows access to local device(s)
      NOTE: Use the IP & Subnet Mask from step 1. Leave Default gateway & DNS Server blank

    Computer says not connected to Internet even after connected to Internet

    Hi Mark,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that applications show that you are not connected to Internet. I’ll certainly help you with this issue.



    However, please let us know:



    • How is the computer connected to Internet i.e. Ethernet or Wi-Fi?
    • Are you aware of any changes made on the computer prior to this issue?
    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
      Enter.


    I would suggest you to try changing the network connection i.e. if the computer is connected to Internet through Wi-Fi, try using Ethernet and check if that helps.



    You may also want to refer the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the article
    Fix network connection issues in Windows.



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare

    Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.
