Internet impaired via Windows computer

Hi RaphaelG

Thanks for your tips - it worked perfectly with Workaround 2 - online again with LAN and WLAN!

It looks like the update that is causing the error is not currently installed. Download stops after a while with error message: missing file after approx. 10%. Windows 10 up to date

I also had to choose restart on a notebook, then it worked!

The update took over ¾ hours.

Workaround4:

Assign a fixed IP address or do not use the DHCP server on the Internet box.

It’s amazing what Microsoft is doing. Even if there is a community, that doesn’t release Microsoft from testing the crap before they deliver it, but you can’t look a gift horse in the mouth.:smileyfrustrated:

I haven’t done the latest update on my Windows 10 PC yet. Should I wait for the update?

I can’t write a command… what do I have to do now? It always means that the WiFi that always worked is secured

Either way, you can assign the PC a fixed IP address outside of the router’s IP range beforehand. Importantly, this must not yet be used on another device.

See example in the picture below.

Great, Workaround 2 worked without any problems on my Lenovo Yoga!

Thanks for that!

Thank you Walter

My Grande router only recovered after switching it off twice. Problem already yesterday though. Have wind. 8.1 and the connection is running at the moment. Coop also had a connection problem this morning. I hope it stays stable now.

Hello Raphael

I had these problems again and again and had to activate the network adapter as an administrator for ages.

I now have the Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview Version Build 14986 rs_ prelelance 161202-1928: and this version actually seems to work…all previous previews did not work with the internet connection. Works with both WiFi and Ethernet. Well, no one knows how long…

Hope this information is helpful for you.

Greetings mazel

@RaphaelG FYI

@heuby @WalterB Setting the IP permanently is not recommended, see here:

[https://www.heise.de/newsticker/melde/Windows-10-Computer-vom-LAN-und-Internet-abschnitt-3567942.html](https://www.heise.de/newsticker/melde/ Windows-10-computer-cut-off-from-LAN-and-internet-3567942.html)

Quote from Heise Online:

Some users also report that manually assigning a fixed LAN IP address resolves the issue. However, it also happens that despite having previously set up a static IP address, Windows 10 also uses an address from the 169 range, switches back and forth between the two uselessly and still does not have a usable IP configuration. Therefore, we do not recommend this method.

The cause could be in the quick start procedure of Windows 10, incorrect caching of the IP configuration or incorrect handling of expired DHCP leases. This suggests that turning off the quick start option helps. This may also explain why the problem does not occur at all in some environments: administrators who have switched off the quick start option on the computers they manage do not notice this problem.

So for me, two laptops installed the update without any problems, only the internet box was smeared again for 15 minutes:smileymad:

The problem is that you can’t apparently turn off automatic updates on all computers and have to leave them on standby.

@user109

I was able to solve the problem with fixed IP addresses for two users without any problems!

It was similar for me.

Although Heise is admittedly considered very competent and when it says that you shouldn’t use fixed IP addresses, that’s usually well-founded.

Still, it’s definitely worth a try if the other workarounds don’t work. Maybe Microsoft will get it done by next patch day (December 13th). The whole thing is pretty frustrating.

I assigned a fixed IP to two computers… even before this bug and it works perfectly

I suspect the problem with the fixed IP addresses may have something to do with activating the quick start because it is deactivated for me and others!

@WalterB it was also in the first sentence that it can work with a fixed IP, but that only partially fixed the problem (it can work, but doesn’t have to) @heuby has already said : Heise-Verlag is a very reputable publisher with IT professional editors who know what they are writing.

So it’s best to deactivate the quick start function in Windows.

Microsoft recommends restarting your PC

Don’t turn it off, just restart it.

Why: Windows does not shut down the system completely and the incorrect network settings are cached and written back into the system when it boots.
