Windows 10: Windows update makes my computer unable to connect to the internet

My computer had been constantly pestering me about how windows has an update available. I finally caved a couple days ago because the update would leave me computer unable to sleep or hibernate. I let it update and shutdown and when I woke up the next morning my computer was unable to connect to the internet. It was able to connect to my router but it wouldn’t connect to the internet. Other devices connected to the same router have no issue.

Unable to connect to the internet on Windows 10

Hi Naresh,

I realize that you are unable to connect to Internet. I will try to help you with this issue.

• 
  Do you have a wired net connection or a WiFi net connection?
  

You can plug in the Ethernet cable directly to the computer and check if you are able to connect to Internet. There might be situations that you might have to install the pending updates and also to update the network driver.

You may try these steps and check the status:

• 
  Run the Network Troubleshooter and restart the computer to check if this helps.
  
• 
  You may try a different network adapter/connection type if possible.
  
• 
  Further you may also check for Windows Updates with a wired net connection and check for updated drivers for the network adapter.
  

Keep us informed to help you further.
