  3. Now to check if the settings are disabled and type: netsh int tcp show global
  4. Press Enter.
  5. Reboot your PC and see if the problem is solved.

4. Clean Boot

Try to perform a Clean Boot to see if there’s any third-party program causing your connection to break. But since you can’t connect to the internet, you won’t be able to update your Network adapter the old-fashioned way, through the Device Manager. So, use another computer, go to your Network adapter or motherboard manufacturer’s website, and download the latest drivers for your network adapter. After that, manually install drivers on your computer, and you should be good. If you have any questions, just check our article about updating old drivers in Windows 10.

5. Use Network Troubleshooter

6. Disable antivirus and firewall

Third-party antivirus programs don’t go along with Windows updates. Therefore, it’s quite possible that your antivirus is exactly what causes you problems after installing the update. So, consider disabling your antivirus temporarily, and check if you’re able to connect to the internet.

7. Reinstall your network adapter

There’s also a chance the freshly installed update interferes with your network adapter. Most of the time, updating your drivers should be enough. However, you might also need to completely reinstall your network adapter. Once you install the network adapter again, you’ll automatically get the latest version, therefore updating the drivers won’t be necessary. Now, Windows should automatically recognize and install the Network Adapter shortly after you uninstall it. However, if that doesn’t happen, here’s what you need to do:

Go to Control Panel Under Hardware & Sound, go to Add a device Wait for the wizard to scan for hardware changes Once it finds your Network Adapter, the installation will be finished

As its name says, this feature resets every important Network feature in your system, which can be beneficial for dealing with potential interferences.
