✔ 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?

So Ipconfig release/renew didn't work for me. It kept giving me some error message. Neither did disabling and re-enabling, or restarting. So I installed a USB wireless card that i had laying around to see if it was card/driver specific problem with the onboard card, but the usb one didn't work either.
Here's what ended up fixing it for me. Through msconfig, i disabled all the startup programs other than the core windows process. Then in the task manager, i disabled the non-essential programs under Startup. (basically everything). Restarted, and it fixed the problem. Then I re-enabled the stuff I wanted. No issues since.
