Windows 10: Windows Update WONT Recognize My Internet Connection

Okay, I have literally searched on and off for a solution to this issue for roughly 2-3 months now and I am finally breaking down and asking someone with superior Windows 10 knowledge to help me. Because, I desperately need it.
Let me take a moment to introduce myself to (what seems to be) a wonderful collection of Windows knowledge -- I'm Joey *Smile
I have countless hours of experience with windows. As I'm sure you all do, but I was writing programs when I was 7 years old. So, it was extremely humbling of me to ask for help on this SILLY STUPID issue.

So, here it is:

When I first upgraded to windows 10 from windows 8.1; I loved it. & not to get me wrong, I still do. But, there is this one HUGE issue that has really gotten me irritated with my experience. I have 100% access to my LAN & 100% access to the internet, and Windows even shows that right here

& also right here


I can surf the web with ease, play online pc games, and do 99.9% of everything I should be able to do with an internet connection.

Except when I try to initiate a windows update, this happens.




And I have found virtually zero solutions. Let alone people with the same problem....
So I come to you all in need of a new windows update, because I guarantee that my windows 10 experience would be a lot more fluid and enjoyable once I am able to get the load of updates that I am sure fixes a lot of the bugs I have came across. And if you didn't notice already, the last update date was in Feb. Lol.

Please help! & Thank you for having me on the forums!

HDMI

Hi my HPdv6 3070tx wont recognize hdmi connection it wont show in added devices and doesn't make the normal sound (bing / bong) I cant find driver updates

 

For such a clueless error, it really looks mysterious. WU has some strange dependencies like DHCP or Windows Firewall. Make sure, that all necessary services are running. Run CMD as admin and copy/paste:

sc config BFE start= auto
sc config Dhcp start= auto
sc config MpsSvc start= auto
sc config netprofm start= auto
sc config NlaSvc start= auto
sc config nsi start= auto
sc config WinHttpAutoProxySvc start= auto
sc config lmhosts start= auto
sc config Wcmsvc start= auto
sc config NcbService start= demand
sc config Netman start= demand
sc config netprofm start= demand
sc config WinHttpAutoProxySvc start= demand
sc config WlanSvc start= demand
sc config WwanSvc start= demand

net start BFE
net start MpsSvc
net start nsi
net start NlaSvc
net start Dhcp
net start BITS
net start Wcmsvc
net start wuauserv
net start WinHttpAutoProxySvc

You might also try Windows Update MiniTool. It uses Microsoft Update instead of Windows Update.

 

Hey thanks so much for the quick reply (considering what time of night it is here in Ohio) ! I was actually just about to check all of my services when I got back to my desktop, which I just did... But, I checked the forum first and you beat me to my own idea *Party !

I am trying this now, and I will let you know how it goes...

EDIT
The command line was unsuccessful. Here is a pic *Sad





Will try the microsoft version next!

 

What kind of AV/firewall do you use? Have you use used any privacy tool to block Windows 10's spying?

It might have blocked something in a firewall or in HOSTS. Make sure, that nothing is blocked in HOSTS:

notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

This should reset Windows Firewall:

netsh advfirewall reset

 

Didn't change anything :/

And at the moment, solely because of this issue, I have no AV installed whatsoever.

 

Now I am starting to get curious, this looks like a really strange issue.

Try changing DNS temporarily, just to make sure, that ISP is not blocking requests.

Manually: How to Switch to OpenDNS or Google DNS to Speed Up Web Browsing or via command:

wmic nicconfig where DHCPEnabled=TRUE call SetDNSServerSearchOrder ("208.67.222.222","208.67.220.220")

 

Sorry accidental post, see the following one.

 

Did not work either. But, I may be on to something. I check msconfig and my settings were on the "Selective Startup" option. But, I have all the normal services enabled... But, what caught my attention was that for some reason I simply CAN NOT change that back to anything else. Like I am not a system administrator or something... Which I definitely am. It's my computer, lol.

Could that have anything to do with it?

 

Yes, that could be causing issue, since default config is changed. Maybe deleting policies would help.
Check those commands and run them in this order, if that does not help, I am lost, running out of ideas.

Anniversary upgrade is coming on July 2th, so maybe wait until then, it will basically reset Windows, if not, maybe reinstall is the only option. If that does not help, it will have to be something caused either by a router or by ISP.

 

Did you mean the 20th? *Biggrin

& Okay I can finally start to turn this into more of a brainstorming session rather than you just telling me what to do! I am back at my desktop for a good while now so we should be able to figure out a solution *Smile

Yes. This. Once I realized that whenever I tried to do the normal startup; it was not actually normal -_- .... It took me about 5 reboots then after the second to last one, I checked msconfig before I shut it down, then click the normal startup (followed by another restart) the first thing I did when the pc rebooted was check msconfig, and sure enough it was back on the essential startup or whatever its called. So... found the .exe inside of the C:\windows directory and changed the admin properties for all users.

That didn't work and now I am going to change the policies as you have suggested. But, that is a lot of registry code.... I just needed to double check with you that that's what you want me to do

Really appreciate all the help by the way. I have HAD it with this bull****

 

What do you show in Device Manager > Network Adapters? Also, right click it, select properties and look on the driver page and see what driver you show.

 

The first driver on this page, I believe is the only Windows 10 driver for your board Realtek

Your motherboard lists your LAN Adapter as Realtek PCI-E GbLAN controller 8111DL

The Realtek driver above is version 10.009 and dated 6.27/2016.

I believe on that page is also a Windows 10 diagnostic program.

 

August 2th actually. *Redface The Finland vodka just made me mix up the month. *Banghead
