I have also tried that fix but it didn't work.

Check out my thread; Solved One or more network protocols are missing, solution - Windows 10 Forums

This happened after the latest major update.

I've tried the following steps with no success 1) sfc /scannow. This showed no errors

2) netsh advfirewall reset netsh int ip reset*** netsh int ipv6 reset netsh int ipv4 reset netsh winsock reset *** This command did not work originally until I went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControl and changed Control/NSI folder 26 permission to everyone (This box was unchecked again after reboot

3) ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /registerdns ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew

4) Disabling and Renabling the Network Adapter within device manager.

5) Uninstalling the driver

6) Installing the latest drivers both from the Asrock/intel website and googling my network adapter.

7) I saw the fix where someone deletes the Windows 10 WIN and WIN2, and replaces with a clean Windows 7/8 version in this registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2

- Did not work also, it gave me a new problem no ethernet something which troubleshoot can't also fix.

8) Finally Reset W10. Still get the same error
Been almost two weeks now I don't have internet.

This is so disappointing.. I read so many topics regarding this and not even a sure fix. Hope someone can help.. It's been weeks now. I'm so close pirating to W7 just to make everything work again..

I have done all of the above, as well, and FINALLY found a fix for this very frustrating (and time consuming problem)...

1. Open Network and Sharing Center
2. In the left panel select "Change Adapter"
3. Right click on your network and choose "Properties"
4. Select "Internet Version Protocol 4 (TCP/IPv4)", and then click on "Properties"
5. Select "Use the following IP address" and enter your local IP (eg. 192.168.0.100 - anything will do as it gets changed back anyway)
6. Repeat above steps, and change it back to "Obtain IP address automatically" then select "Advanced"
7. It would not hurt to uncheck "Enable LMHOSTS lookup" while here (re-enable later if needed)
8. Select the "WINS" tab and the choose "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" which will (hopefully) keep it from happening again :)
9. Finish on "OK" and notice that you should have an internet connection again!

Hmm.. For some reason when my ISP replaced my modem with a modem+ built in router, I instantly got my connection back. I don't know if this is temporary or not but it's been 3 days now..

Will try this if the problem still occurs.

This fix absolutely worked and solved the issue - thank you.

I have had that same issue, turns out it was a time warner internet issue, I had them come out and do a service call and they found that the specs for their equipment was out of parameters, they made the necessary adjustments and I have not seen the problem since
