Thankfully, though, Microsoft is aware of this problem, has acknowledged its existence, and is considered to be working on a permanent solution to it. The following is what Microsoft had to say regarding this problem: “We are looking into reports that some customers are experiencing difficulty connecting to the Internet. We recommend customers restart their PCs, and if needed, visit Microsoft’s official Network Troubleshooting page. To restart, select the Start button from the taskbar, click the Power button and choose Restart (not Shut down).”
The current consensus regarding this issue is that the culprit is usually a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) bug affecting the Windows 10 Operating System. As stated in Microsoft’s official statement on the matter, restarting a computer affected by this problem often sets things straight. However, if you are experiencing this problem and restarting your computer didn’t work, the following are the most effective solutions that you can use to try and fix the problem:
Method 1: Disable or Uninstall any and all Third-party Security Programs
Third-party antivirus, antimalware and firewall applications can sometimes interfere with internet access, especially following the installation of Windows updates. If a third-party security program is a reason you’re experiencing this problem, simply disable (or better yet, uninstall) any and all third-party security programs installed on your computer. Once that’s done, check to see whether or not the fix worked. If you would like to uninstall a third-party security program installed on your computer but don’t know how to do so, use this guide.
Method 2: Reset the computer’s Winsock Catalog and Internet Protocol settings
Method 3: Reset your Computer’s TCP/IP stack and renew its IP Address
Method 4: Ensure that DHCP is turned On
You may be suffering from this problem because DHCP has, for some reason, been turned off for your network. To make sure that DHCP is enabled and running, all you need to do is diagnose/troubleshoot your internet connection.
When the diagnosis has been completed, check to see whether or not your access to the internet has been restored.
Method 5: Disabling Active Probing
Sometimes your Internet’s Active Probing can be the culprit. There is a registry tweak that you can try which will disable the Active Probing of your Internet adaptor. This tweak can potentially fix the “No Internet Connection” issue for you. I have created a command so that you can easily disable the Active Probing feature without having to mess around with different registry settings. To disable the Active Probing, follow the steps below.
Method 6: Update your Network Adapter’s Driver Software
Method 7: Reinstall your computer’s Network Adapter
