Internet not working after Windows 10 Reset Network option
Was having issues with my VPN. Uninstalled both and then did the Windows 10 Network Reset option which supposedly resets all networking to defaults.
Prior to the Reset, normal (no VPN) internet access worked just fine. After the Reset, Windows will show that I am connected to the router but that I have no internet access. However, if I do IPCONFIG /all, the wireless adapter doesn't even show up.
Installed the latest driver for the wifi adapter (Intel AC-7260), but the results are the same. Will not connect with ethernet either. I do use Access Control on the router, turning it off did not help. Have "forgotten" and recreated the wireless profile multiple times. Even when Windows shows that I am connected and secured, I cannot access or ping the router.
If I click on the wireless icon in the system tray, it shows I am connected but with no internet. If I look in Network and sharing at the adapters, the adapter shows enabled but not connected. I get no error messages other than "no internet."
Laptop dual boots 10 & 7. If I boot into 7 all adapters and VPNs work just fine so I know it's not hardware. Win 10's network diagnostics can't find the problem. Would really love to solve this without having to reinstall Windows 10 if possible.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
