Windows 10: Persistent Network Issues

For over a year now, I have had issues with downloading software and updating programs. Seemingly at random, a download from a given source will fail, and continue to fail every time I try to download it again. This happens with Chrome, Chrome incognito, Edge, Firefox and other networks. The weird thing is, this doesn't happen for every program, other downloads work just fine. For example, I can't update the launcher for Minecraft or download a new graphics driver, but Steam updates just fine and I can download PDF's all day.My PC is connected via ethernet, I've downloaded new network drivers

Issues with network adapters

Hi Alfonso,

To resolve this issue, we suggest that you run the Network troubleshooter when you switch from WiFi to Ethernet connection. The Network troubleshooter can help diagnose and fix common connection problems including clearing the network cache to obtain a new
IP from the new network. Kindly follow the steps below:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Identify and repair network problems, and then select
  Identify and repair network problems from the list of results.
• Follow the steps in the troubleshooter and see if that fixes the problem.

If the issue persists, kindly try the troubleshooting steps on the following link:

We recommend that you try the steps on the Update the network adapter driver,
Run the Network troubleshooter followed by networking commands, and Use network reset to reinstall network devices sections.

New laptop with windows 10 has persistant connectivit issues.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

I suggest that you perform the steps below and check if issue persist:

Method 1: Network troubleshooting.

• On the search bar type “Troubleshooting”
• Click on “Network and Internet”
• Click on “Network Adapter” and run the troubleshooter.
  

Method 2: Download and install the latest firmware updates for the Wi-Fi adapter

Follow these steps to un-install the drivers:

• On the search bar type “ Device Manager”
• On the left pane locate “Network Adapter” and expand by clicking on it
• Right on the “ Wireless adapter” option and click “Uninstall’
• Download the latest Wireless network adapter driver setup file from the manufacturer’s website and install it.

If the issue still persists, install the same driver in compatibility mode and check.

Most programs created for earlier versions of Windows will work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. You can run the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter on most programs to detect
and fix common compatibility problems.

Kindly refer to: Make older programs compatible with this
version of Windows (information holds good for Windows 10 as well)
