Wifi Does not have valid IP address

Hello,

I've look through the community and I've seen many posts on this before and yet I've never seen my exact problem or an actual PERMANENT fix put forward by Mircrosoft.

Issue: I got my computer new April of 2016. I had no problems whatsoever until December of 2016. One night my computer did an automatic windows update and once the update was installed, my computer had the "wifi does not have valid IP address" error. After
spending HOURS on the phone with the help desk, the only think they could suggest is that I reinstall Windows 10. I reinstalled Windows 10 and the error was fixed....except not really.

Now pretty much every other time I turn on my computer, it get's the "wifi does not have valid IP address" error and reinstalling windows 10 is the ONLY thing that fixes it. I've tried every single command prompt you can image, turning off quick start, setting
a manual IP address...EVERYTHING.

Has there been ANYTHING from Microsoft about fixing this mess?? It's insane that I literally have to reinstall windows sometimes multiple times in same day in order to use my computer. Any permanent fixes out there????

 

"WiFi does not have a valid IP configuration

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you get an error saying that WiFi does not have a valid IP configuration while trying to connect to the network.

This could occur if there is any discrepancy in IP address configuration.

I suggest that you try the steps suggested in the following link by one of our Forum Moderator, Karthik Vengaloor
