Windows 10: Not Able To Connect To Network, Internet HP Laptop, Windows 11

I posted days ago about the same thing, No Internet Connection. First ones to contact....the provider...they did nothing. The reason why doesn't matter.....small community, weird terrain, monopoly company.....irritating. A gentleman named Arthur help me here, I ran thru the steps he listed, but it wasn't a go. I'm sure there's more that can be done, just need to know what. I can get online with my ASUS laptop, no problem, my partner can not. He's running an HP Laptop, both Windows 11. He was able to get a connection til recently.........the basics stuff we've covered, Appreciate the

HP 15-ay513tx laptop "Connected, No Internet" on hotspot..

Hello,

I own a Dell Latitude 5430 and an HP 15-ay513tx. I often have to use my mobile's wifi hotspot to access internet on the go.

I notice that I am able to access the internet fine on the Dell laptop. However, the HP one is a peculiar case.

The HP Case:

So, on the HP, the internet works fine as long as I'm viewing my lecture videos (which happen to be MPEG-TS segmented videos with AES encryption).

However, if I view even a 10 minute long video on youtube, this is what has been occuring since the last 2-3 months:

1. 2-3 minutes into the youtube video, the network icon starts showing the yellow exclamation mark. If I click on it, then for my wifi network, it says "Connected, No Internet". And I can no longer access the internet on laptop unless I:
   1. disable the network adapter, and re-enable it;
   2. reset the network stack (requiring restart); or,
   3. restart the system.
2. However, if at this very point in time, I am able to browse the internet on my mobile's browser just fine!

So there are a couple of perplexing issues for me...

1. the internet works fine on the mobile's browser, but not on the laptop's browser connected to that very mobile's wifi hotspot.
2. Also, on the the laptop, internet works fine as long as I'm browsing regular pages (like while navigating to and typing this post) or when viewing the MPEG-TS lecture videos (which have never been less than 2 hours long). However, if I view a youtube video, I face this "Connected, No Internet" issue.

I have tried the following couple of things to no avail:

1. I tried assigning DNSs (such as Google DNS and 1.1.1.1) in the IPv4 and the IPv6 files of my network adapter properties. This didn't help.
2. Turning off the hotspot, re-enabling it and then connecting the laptop back to it.
3. Turning the hotspot as well as mobile data off, re-enabling both of them and then connecting the laptop back to it.
4. Using another mobile's hotspot. Even on the other mobile's hotspot, I face the same issue.
5. Disabling the wifi adapter from Device manager and then re-enabling it didn't solve the issue either.

Dell system specifications: https://www.dell.com/downloads/globa...spec_sheet.pdf (the i5 variant)

One of the suspects could be that one time, I had tried using the built-in Hyper-V Virtual Machine feature on my HP laptop. Since then, the number of network adapters has increased as per the following screenshot:




Also, since then, even while using my wifi hotspot, I don't get the usual wifi icon in the system tray. Instead, I get an ethernet-like icon:




Both my laptops (the Dell one as well as the HP one) are running Windows 10 1607 (OS Build 14393.953).

One of my constraints is that I cannot try updating my windows because of approaching exams.

Any suggestions which can help me fix this issue without a windows update?

[Update:] I just noticed that all this while, I had ignored that actual Realtek Wifi adapter in the control panel... I had tried disabling and re-enabling the Hyper-V adapter.. *Busted

So disabling and re-anabling the actual Realtek Wifi adapter does restore the wifi to normal. But it's a real hassle because video streams often aren't resuming when I reconnect to the mobile's hotspot. I have to reload the entire webpage and navigate to the timestamp to resume my videos.

Any solution which can help me solve this hassle?

Laptop connects to Internet but not to local network

I've been using an HP laptop on wifi to access a hard drive attached to my router. This has been working well for the past couple of years. Last week I took the laptop when I went on vacation. When I got home it said it was unable to reconnect to the drive on the router. As far as I know I had not changed any settings on either the laptop or my home network. It connects to the internet without a problem. A desktop on the same network connects to the router drive without a hitch, so the problem isn't in the router or the drive. The network is set up as private and discovery is turned on. When I try to map a network drive the router doesn't show up on the list of folders; the only thing that shows up is the laptop. I tried pinging the router and discovered I can't ping anything, either local or internet, unless I disable the Windows Firewall. If the firewall is on the ping returns "general failure". But turning off the firewall doesn't allow it to find any other devices. The system is an HP 15-cs2073cl running Win10 21H2. Thanks. --
