Hello everyone,
For the past couple weeks now, ever since I have updated to this version of windows 10:
Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134,
I have been experiencing a network issue that completely has me baffled. At a random instance, my computer's network would freeze, and the Wi-Fi icon would change from connected to
connected, no internet. When I would try to go into my adapter settings to disable and enable the adapter to fix said issue, file explorer would not open the proper location where I could do so. I have searched online for the past couple hours, and
this is what I have done in an attempt to resolve the issue:
- Reset WiFi Network Settings and it's defaults (Unfortunately, only worked for a day).
- Changed power management settings (I soon figured out that this was NOT the issue; my computer's power management is working just fine)
- Changed the Network Profile to which I am connected to from public to private.
- Searched for any updates that would require my network driver to be upgraded [None that I have seen]
- Checked for any normal windows updates [None].
- Ran multiple diagnosis' on different levels of the situation (Ran adapter issues, network issues, i.e.)
- Checked the device for improper function ["This device is working properly"]
- Checked my anti-virus for any firewalls that could intentionally mess with my network and it's settings
- Checked for any viruses on the computer
As a rising computer enthusiast, I am quite unsure of what to do next. It would be much of a help if anyone could shed some light on this circumstance, or if anyone shares the same predicament I am currently in.
