  3. Ip has invalid configuration

    Hi,

    • Have you tried restarting your computer?
    • Is the IP address in the 169.x.x.x range?
    If so, this is actually a bug that Microsoft have already resolved.

    We suggest referring to this link
    for more information, and for a detailed instruction on how to resolve it.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
