Windows 10: Windows 10 believes it is not on the network.

Hi - I've had troubles with Windows 10 since I upgraded from windows 7. I did a clean install of Windows 7 and then updated it .. then I let the Windows 10 upgrade roll. Everything mostly works. The problems is the word MOSTLY.
the dingbats at Microsoft are seriously useless. I am writing this note on the system that is affected. Unfortunately for me I'm involved in a major project and have tons of specialized software installed and do not have the hours and days necessary to wipe all out and start over. I am trying desperately to preserve my installed software. Files are backed up but the installs are all registered and let me tell you some of them are truly a pain to move or reinstall due to ignorant license issues. SO.. can anyone help?
This is the exact issue: Windows firmly believes that it is not online. I have the cute little computer icon with a BANG on it. BUT I'm online right now. The Windows Store is unavailable ( I'm not online remember ? ) The Windows Search is useless ( don't much care about that ) Edge is non functional. Firefox and Chrome work fine. If I click on Network and Sharing center - I get : The dependency service or group failed to start.
I've combed through my services and they all look like they are functional. Can post the list if anyone wants to double check it.
Ideas and suggestions that don't involve : Start Over would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

windows 10 is not seeing the network card. It is visible in Device Manaager. All drivers up-dated. No biding of ip addresses. Totally invisible.

Hi, after an update my internet vanished! Checked device manager it was visible, checked drivers all working. Ran troubleshooter couldn't find thee problem came out with the remark it may be the device driver. Thats what it keeps saying. Disconnected card
from the bios. Plugged in usb network card. The same remark - it may be the device driver! All firewalls are off. I've booted into safe mode. The same results! Device manager present the reset of the computer - invisible. I've tried all the standard netsh
commands - nothing. When I issue the command netsh show interfaces it ssays there are none. Device manager says there is! I hope there is somebody out there can give me a clue as to what direction Ineed to go. I forgotto mentionI have an Asus maximus IX hero
motherboard with the latest bios 0906. Thank you for any help.

Hi Both Julie and Greg,

Thank you for your interest and suggestions. Very late last night I discovered what the problem was. I ran a virtual machine using VMware Windows 7. It booted up and the network card was recognised and I was able to go onto the internet. I now knew it wasn't
the card. I looked at the Ethernet properties of the card and there were only 4 items listed TCP/ip4v etc.

I then closed down the virtual machine and looked at the Ethernet properties of the card under Win 10. There many more items in the Ethernet properties box and I un-ticked this one Jump Start Wireless Filter Driver and Wow I had the network
and internet back. I must have looked at this item's box 100 times! If only I had read it! Thanks to both of you. I will now mark this as solved.

Does this help?

Solved Ethernet shows unidentified network, but internet works. - Windows 10 Forums

 

I think I tried this already but I'll go through it really quick and let you know. Thx.

 

Nope.. did not work. Whatever it is supposed to reset or reinstall after the PATH fails. It doesn't say what it is. Same result for both IPV4 and IPV6 .. and yes I always run command prompt as administrator.. just easier that way.
However, my ipconfig shows ipaddresses but then has a tunneling adaptor with "media disconnected". I have attached my services list if you want to see it. (this is post re-boot)

Oh and if anyone cares the build is: 10.0.10586
