Windows 10: Windows 11 Network Connectivity Bug / Can Browse Certain Sites and Plugging Ethernet Out/In...

I have an odd problem of Windows 11 saying I have no internet connectivity. However I can still browse certain sites. The only way around this which is funny is unplugging and re-plugging the ethernet cable. I had to do this a multiple times to get the updates to push through. However I only did it once to browse certain sites that mention I had ZERO internet connectivity.I recently updated from a Windows 10 install over Windows Update. I've tried to reinstall the drivers from motherboard manufacturer by Uninstalling/Installing and that didnt help.AMD Ryzen 9 5600XTEVGA GeFeforce 3080X570 Asus

Windows 10 Ethernet connection randomly disconnects

I suggest checking out the event log in Windows. It's likely going to tell you why (to some degree,) why the network connection was lost. I haven't had this issue with wired connections but, with wireless it has almost always come down to drivers or a strange software bug which boiled down to how the driver operates.

 

Ethernet Cable connection in Dorms

Press start
Type in "network", and select "Network and Sharing Centre"
Click on Change Adapter Settings at the left.
Check if you have two, one ethernet and one wireles.
If you only have one, wireless, your ethernet driver is not installed (refer to website of manufacturer for driver)
If you have two, and the ethernet cable is plugged in but the adapter is not connected - buy a new cable.
Check with university site management to see if they have purposefully disabled physical network connection.
