Anyone else having connection problems after the recent Windows 10 update? We've been slammed at work with them. If you do, here's an easy fix:
0. Go to Command Prompt (Run as Administrator)
1. First command:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
(One of them will probably fail, that's fine.)
2. Second command:
netsh winsock reset
3. Restart the computer.

    I'm going to have to investigate this. My home desktop is plagued with connection issues after Windows 10 Anniversary update (it's over wifi but like 10 feet away).

    I work for CenturyLink, so getting dozens of these calls the past few days. You're definitely not alone.

    This is a worldwide issue. Yesterday I read about some swiss provider getting flooded with customer calls because of this.

    Microsoft really messed up.

    As far as I understand it, it's not a reoccurring problem. It's just part of the update broke the wireless adapter when it was installing. If it's not reoccurring, Windows shouldn't need a patch, but that still does help those who don't have access to the internet.

    @BassClefBuddha I've done many restarts and reinstalled my wireless drivers. :( I'll figure it out at some point.

    Basic restarts haven't returned for majority of our customers, according to cooperate.

    @R41D3NN What exactly is going on with your network adapter? Is it pulling a bad (169.254.x.x) IP address? Winsock should fix that.

    I'm just commenting here so I keep track of this solution. I have a couple pending updates.

    @harshit I haven't had this problem in a while, but it could still be it. What's your device doing?

    @RedDev112 windows' app e.g. store, edge, are not connecting to the Internet while other softwares like chrome, Firefox etc are working fine.

    @harshit Not sure. I'd double check your Microsoft account is logged in right, but other then that I have no clue.
