Connectivity (IPv4/IPv6): Disconnected

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Ideally this Connectivity (IPv4/IPv6): Disconnected, means that the devices in not in use or not connected and it could be any device for example, Ethernet, WIFI, Bluetooth or Local Area Connection.



If you are using WI-FI for internet connection then Ethernet will show Connectivity (IPv4/IPv6): Disconnected.



In order to understand the issue and assist you accordingly, we need some information

• What is your network setup?
  
• Are you seeing any errors?

Meanwhile, try the troubleshooting steps referred in this article:

Windows 10 No IPV4 Connectivity, Ipv6 works fine.

Suddenly today my laptop decided I cannot reach any IPV4 websites but IPV6 websites work fine. I checked the Wifi adapter status and it shows NO IPV4 Connectivity. This laptop was not on the latest 2004 update so I did the update and STILL no connectivity.

Another thing I noticed is that this only affects the Wifi adapter. I did the 2004 update connected to the gigabit lan and everything works fine there but when I go back on wifi IPV4 does not work.

I looked over other people posts for this issue and nothing there is working for me. I cannot work with my laptop cabled to the LAN I must have it on wifi.
