I realise that if you are reading this, you probably don't have a problem, but if someone else does, or the problem occurs in the near future, this may help.


Windows 10 latest update is causing some problems, I've had at least 5 phone calls since the weekend. The details are here, along with 2 suggested "fixes"......   http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-38301548

Stupid BBC are publishing links to fix, and MS have created a patch to fix, however, if you can't connect to the internet because of the problem .............    (DOH)

Thes "fixes" don't always work, especially on laptops for some reason, however another possibility, which, so far, has a 100% success rate for me is:

right click the windows logo bottom left, choose "Command prompt (admin)"
In the text box that opens up type :  netsh winsock reset
press enter:
Reboot system

Enjoy your fully working wifi connection 

Hope that helps anyone with the problem.

Thanks Entwood. I have forwarded this on to Mrs 944 who seems to be getting this issue almost daily 

Do you know if the M$ patch is a good fix for this?

mmmm .. simply .. no I don't know  !!

The fix I gave above has solved the problem and allowed folks to connect to the internet, windows 10 has then done another update - KB3206632 - which is supposedly the "fix" .. but the problem has already been solved, however, no-one, yet, has had a recurrence after the second update .... so together they seem to work !!

HTH !!

Yup, that got installed at some point today and works well 

However I didn't have a problem before the update

MS have released a fix.  The temporary fix is restart (not shut down, and power back up).

You know if you're impacted, as you wont get a DHCP address when it plays up.  Its currently unclear if setting a static IP overcomes the issue until you get the fix for it.

No problems here, before or after the fix.

My laptop was doing that. I ended up reinstalling an old driver which fixed the problem.
