    Windows 10 does not recognize internet connection


    Hello, I am having an issue with my laptop's internet connection.


    I am able to access the internet via my browser and many other applications, however Windows itself and some other applications that I need to use are unable to connect to the internet. This includes the windows update service, which, when I attempt to update either shows as pending and then fails or says "We couldn't check for updates, because you aren't connected to the Internet. Make sure you have a cellular data or Wi-Fi connection and try again."


    My internet connection on the taskbar shows as being connected to my local network but with no access to internet.


    I have run the windows troubleshooter and it shows the issue "The remote device or resource won't accept the connection".


    I have reset my networking settings multiple times and seen no change.


    I have reinstalled windows and seen no change.


    My operationg system information is:

    Windows 10 Home

    Version 1903

    OS Build 18362.476


    Hardware is an HP Pavillion

    Wireless adapter: IntelR Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265

    :)

    Upgrading to Windows 10 from windows 7 and losing internet connection

    A couple of days ago I upgraded my desktop to windows 10 after getting one of those MS prompts. However now I cannot access the internet and suspect the drivers from the Gigabyte GA-MA790X-ud4 motherboard does not support the internet drivers required. Searching the manufacturers website has not given me any joy either. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
