I try to share my WiFi Internet connection to provide a second computer.
To do this I activated "sharing" in the WiFi adapter.
Then I activated "Bridged Connections" in both the WiFi adapter and the Ethernet adapter.
This worked fine, I had Internet on my second computer, until ... I powered up the computer the next day.
The "charring" setting is still there, but the Bridge setting is lost.
I posted this before and got an answer from Lynn Sun, Microsoft Community Support Specialist:
** Hi P. van Wijk,
Welcome to the Microsoft Community.
It sounds like the bridge connection on your Windows gets lost after restarting. Sorry for the inconvenience you are facing.
To regain the bridge connection, you can try the methods below and see if they help.
- Switch the network to a mobile hotspot or another broadband connection.
- Press Windows + R -- type: inetcpl.cpl -- press Enter to open Internet options -- Advanced -- find the security module -- check Use SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2 -- OK.
- Reset the network:
Right-click the Start menu - click "Windows PowerShell (Administrator)", type commands below and hit Enter key after each of them:
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
Restart the device directly after running

I followed the advise from Lynn Sun, but the problem was not solved. Is there anyone that has an idea how the Bridge settings can be maintained after a restart of Windows 10?
