Windows 10: Windows 10 Build 10061 will not connect to internet

Just upgraded from Windows 10 build 10056 to the new 10061 build. Cannot connect the my wired ethernet network adapter since upgrading....Project Spartan works just fine; however, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Tor, etc will not connect. Resorted to going back to 10056; however, would really like to run the latest build. It has to be something simple; however, can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas to this problem would be greatly appreciated....

:)

 

Will Microsoft rip me off again and will activation fail?

Which build of Windows 10 are you running, 10130, 10122, 10074, 10061?

Review:
Windows 10 build 10049/10061

Thats an old build, I have not written one for build 10130 which is greatly improved.

 

Have you tried re-installing?

 

Yes....same problem.....went back to build 10056 until I figure out what the problem is.............

 

You can't even say MS is forcing you to abandon all 'other' browsers because IE doesn't connect!

Your problem is very seriously weird. Could even be unique. I'm racking my brain to think of anything you could test to narrow it down but I can't think of anything.

Sorry I can't help but keep us posted if you can track the problem down. I am intrigued!

 

I just downloaded 10061 I had to try three times before getting message that there was a problem and to try later.
Kept trying, when it started downloading it only took 15 to 20 minutes. Seems to be working ok at first look but haven't
had a chance to use it very much. Time will tell. My desktop still shows my build at 10049, but it is 10061.
good luck all

 

Strange if your desktop shows 10049 when it is 10061. How do you know it is 10061?

What vers does it say in Control Panel/Administrative Tools/System Info?

 

No problem at all for me by now !

10061 = 1+

 

Try setting Mozilla as the default browser
(the exercise is to make something other than Spartan the default browser, my images show Chrome)

Set Mozilla as the default browser
Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Set Default Programs




--AND--

Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Set program access and computer defaults
Custom:
select the radio button for Mozilla even though it 'looks' like it is already the default

 

Removed my Tap ethernet virtual adapters and then rebooted...problem solved.

 

All's well that ends well!!

 

Glad you got it sorted and thanks for posting the solution that worked for you - it might help others.

 

Build 10047 forced me to give up on Win 10 TP and wait for a new build due to the failure of my browsers, Chrome, Firefox and IE, to connect to the Internet although there was an internet connection reported. There were a number of complaints about this on Windows Feedback and some were resolved by doing what scellato did. It did not work for me. I would love to know what the problem was, but, no matter, I did a clean install with Build 10074. No internet connection problem. Had a display resolution problem, but solved that thanks to another thread from this forum.
