Windows 10: Windows 10 Laptop Can't Connect to Internet when on WiFi

This one is very strange, at least to me. I have an old Dell Latitude laptop running Windows 10 that cannot connect to the Internet while it's on my home WiFi network. Everything was fine until yesterday morning, when the problem suddenly appeared. I can access everything else on my home network via WiFi, but network status says "Connected but no Internet".When I plug the laptop into my LAN with an Ethernet cable, it connects just fine, Internet and all. But dues to my home network setup, this isn't an option other than for temporary troubleshooting.At first I suspected some weird issue wit

Windows 10 update KB194496 disabled Wifi access to internet

Lenovo laptop did a Windows 10 update with KB3194496 last night/this morning. Afterwards the network/wifi said connected to AT&T router without internet access. However, the AT&T router said the Lenovo laptop was NOT connected. Two other PCs (a Windows
& HP desktop and a Windows 10 HP laptop) were listed as connected and had Internet access.

Rebooted the AT&T Uverse router, same thing.

When I uninstalled KB3194496 and rebooted the laptop connected correctly to the router and internet. What is the problem with KB3194496 that disables wifi internet on my Lenovo laptop?

Can't connect to the Internet, local connection only??

Hi guys,

I have a laptop here that refuses to connect to the internet over Wifi. Ethernet works fine but once I try to connect wifi it only connects as a local network without the internet.

I have tried a few different things like reinstalling the drivers, changing a few different settings in the registry but with out any luck.

Can anyone have any ideas? i have the flu at the moment and I just cant think straight and I need this fixed and out the door asap.

The laptop is running windows Vista 32
