    Ethernet does not have a valid ip configuration


    I just updated to Windows 10 Home 1903 and have been having trouble viewing some internet videos including on Youtube. So I ran the Network Adapter Troubleshooting tool and it told me: "Problem found: Ethernet doesn't have a valid configuration. Not fixed" It's the not fixed part that gets me. How do I fix the Ethernet not having a valid configuration? Thanks.

    Since you are using TOR and it sets a proxy, you are best to inquire over at the TOR forums. If you wish to do so, you can post the results of ipconfig /all

    I mostly use Firefox. Only occasionally do I use the Tor browser. I hope it is safe to post this here.

    Can you repost in a code box so that we can better tell which connection is being used for LAN/Internet.

    Thank you for the link. It may have solved my problem.

    From configuration in Windows 10 [FULL FIX]

    If you’ve previously encountered a networking issue that says Ethernet doesn’t have a valid IP configuration, then something is wrong with your Network Interface Card.
    The keyword being "Ethernet". I'm using wifi not cable Ethernet connection when I get that error in trouble shooting. I assume that is the reason for the apparent 'error'.

    Am I correct?
    Otherwise, for pasting code, is it ?

    From one of their other posts on here it was stated that they are using TOR.
