It could be difficult when things don’t work the way it should be on your computer. We appreciate your patience and efforts. It’s unfortunate the steps provided in the previous post were not helpful.

Since most of the steps has already been tried in-order to fix this issue. I suggest you to perform System Restore and check.

Restoring your PC is a way to undo recent system changes. This might help you to resolve the issue.

Important: System Restore will not revert any of your non-system files like documents, email, music, etc. to a previous state. These types files are completely unaffected by System Restore. If your intention with this tool was to recover a deleted non-system file, try using a file recovery program instead of System Restore.

4. Use Network Troubleshooter

1. Go to Settings
   
2. Head over to Update & Security >Troubleshoot
3. Find Internet connections, and click Run the troubleshooter
4. Follow further on-screen instructions
5. Restart your computer

5. Update the Network adapter driver

There’s a chance the update you just installed is simply incompatible with your Network adapter. So, the next thing we’re going to do is update your Network adapter.

Run a System Scan to discover potential errors

Click Start Scan to find Windows issues.

Click Repair All to fix issues with Patented Technologies.

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.

If you don’t have enough time or you simply want to get over with this error by updating your drivers, we recommend you to download Tweakbit’s Driver Updater tool.

This tool is approved by Microsoft and Norton Antivirus and it will download and install the right driver version for your PC, thus protecting you from damaging your system by installing the wrong drivers.

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

1. Go to Search, type devmngr, and go to Device Manager
2. Find your Network Adapter, right-click it, and go to Uninstall Device
3. Restart your computer

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 recognise 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

8. Run Windows 10 Network Reset feature

1. Go to Settings >Network & Internet
2. Stay in the Status section
3. Scroll down and click Network Reset
4. Follow further on-screen instructions
5. Restart your computer

There’s another (less-known) troubleshooting option for network problems in Windows 10. And that is the Network Reset feature.

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

That’s about it, we certainly hope at least one of these solutions helped you resolve the problem with the internet connection after installing Windows updates.
