Windows 10: No Internet Access Again???

What's going on with Windows 10 and this No Internet connection - Network Protocol Missing applications again! I am ready to go back to Windows 7. Can anyone explain what the problem is? I've tried all the resetting and other so called solutions to no avail. Please advise if you have a fix! Thanks.

Wi-Fi is on // No connection (after Windows Update)

On Oct 13 windows updated.

The update must've invited malware into my computer. I tried to run my antivirus after the update but it said there's no connection. Google chrome lost connection as well and then I got a pop-up saying that Windows Defender found and blocked a "Severe Trojan
threat". So I deleted it and I still don't have connection... (weirdly) the only thing that works is the Explorer app. I have internet; the Wi-Fi works just fine but, everything else doesn't connect. It's something internal that must be causing
the problem and it all started after the update.

P.S.

It also changed my network from private to public so I had to fix that.

And YES, I did allow these programs through the Firewall so that's not the problem.

still isn't working.

 

Which version of Windows 10 are you running?

 

Win 10 Pro, Version 1511, 10586.122

 

Try this...open Device Manager, click on Network Adapter, right click on either Wi-Fi or Ethernet, disable then enable.

 

Still nothing! All my wifi connections work but my main system connected to the Ethernet does not.

 

Disable wifi, then try disable Ethernet then enable again.

 

Still nothing!

 

If you hover the mouse over internet rectangle on taskbar, does it state unidentified connection.. when using wifi.

 

Problem solved. Hardware issue. Plugged ethernet cable into another slot on router, internet fired right up! Thanks for all your feedback and helpfulness.

 

Glad to see you have solved your problem...well done.
