The Problem:
- Windows 10 PC (probably upgraded from Windows 7 or 8)
- Network is connected (Wifi or Cat5)
- Yellow exclamation mark on network icon saying internet is not connected
- Attempting to do a network repair fails
- Wifi or Ethernet adapter has an autoconfig IP address (169.x.x.x)
- ipconfig/release then ipconfig/renew results in “File Not Found”
The Solution:
- Run as Administrator command prompt (yes, must be in administrator mode) and enter the following:
netsh int ip reset
- Reboot
That’s it. Fixed!
Step By Step Guide:
- Click Start
- Scroll start menu to “W” and expand “Windows System”
- Right Click on “Command Prompt”, Hover over “More” and then Left Click on “Run As Administrator
- Click “Yes” when asked if you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer
- Type this line and press enter:
netsh int ip reset
- You should get a result like this:
- Reboot your computer
- Fixed!
