Willy this post solved my problem, thank you so much. I took it a step further in Bit Defender.
First for those that don't know how to find the firewall setting inside bit defender
its under Protection > Firewall (wrench icon) > Willy's fix is under the settings tab.
I went to the Adapters Tab and for my Local Area Connection it was set to Home/Work - I switched it to Trusted.
Seems Windows 10 has a different classification now for the adapters.
Not that internet connection sharing needs to be on either, but setting the Local Area Connection to trusted i was able to leave the internet connection sharing on and it works.
I have had the same issue with bitdefender.I rest the firewall setting and all seamed ok for about an hour then internet dropped again unistalled bitdefender and now its working fine again.is your connection still intact?.
I shall investigate the bitdefender forum to see if they have any answers but i won`t hold my breath with that site.
back soon Topper.
OK good. I have just been on the BD forum and reinstalled it again using this download link What To Expect From Bitdefender 2015 After Upgrading To Windows 10 - Bitdefender Forum recomended by BD and have set internet sharing to enable. I will test it again and see how it goes.
An interesting note: the set up using this link was slightly different than the automatic upgrade when installing Win 10.
Will report back after a few hours if O/K or not.
Topper.
Thanks HardyRexion
Deleting the "working" ethernet controller in device manager and then scanning for hardware changes worked for me also.
