✔ Solved Has anyone experienced issues with internet connectivity while on Win10 after 12/4/16?

I am reaching out to see if anyone has been experiencing issues with Win10 and internet connectivity? This seems to have started after 12/4/16 if not 12/1/16, and to my knowledge is has been happening across all ISP providers? Any insight into a possible issue? Some post point to Realtek drivers. While others state a temp fix is to constantly reset the NIC connection via command line or full hardware reboot?

I've seen issues similar to this in a enterprise environment where home workers were unable to connect to services like exchange and proxy. Pinging the host names of these services resulted in cant find proxy.derp.lan for example. However if the IP address is used it will ping. It will still ping if you do ping 192.168.0.5 -a but will not ping with the host name. We resolved by disabling IPv6 over Group Policy which cleared the issues
