No internet connection using WiFi or Ethernet

I cannot connect my laptop (Windows 10) to the Internet via WiFi or Ethernet.

If right click the Ethernet icon in Network Connections and then select Status, the IPv4 Connectivity field says 'No network access' with the IPv6 Connectivity field saying 'No internet access'.

When selecting the Diagnose tab the message says 'Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration - not fixed'.

The message when diagnosing the WiFi connection says 'WiFi doesn't have a valid IP Configuration - not fixed'.

I can however connect to the Internet using WiFi with my tablet and iPhone.

Ant ideas?

What is the make and model number of the laptop.

What does Device Manager look like? Any yellow marks?

Expand Network Adapters, are they both clean, no yellow or red marks?

 

Did this ever work? What did you do before this started happening? Did you reinstall Windows 10 or have you just upgraded to Windows 10 from 7, 8 or 8.1?

 

To collect IP configuration information easily, do the following:

 

Open a Elevated Command Prompt:

 

Press WIN + X to open Start context menu.

Select Command Prompt (Admin)​.

 

Paste the following into the Command Prompt window, exactly as shown, including double quotes:

 

cmd /c "ipconfig /all > postme.txt & ping yahoo.com >> postme.txt & reg query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings" | find /i "proxy" >> postme.txt & notepad postme.txt & del postme.txt"
 

and press ENTER.

A file will open in Notepad. Please copy and paste the contents here. Close the Notepad window and the file will be deleted and the Command Prompt window will also close.

**********

I tried various suggestions from different posters/experts on the internet among them the ipconfig /release suggestion using the command prompt (admin).

 

This is what came up:

Windows IP Configuration

No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection 12 while it has its media disconnected.

An error occurred while releasing interface Ethernet : An address has not yet been associated with the network endpoint.

An error occurred while releasing interface Wi-Fi : An address has not yet been associated with the network endpoint.

Just to say upgraded from Windows 8.1 a few month ago.

Also a few pop ups appear just after I login.

One says 'Dragon Gaming Center stopped working', another says 'Samsund Easy Eco Driver has stopped working' and another says 'Error Serious error occures application would be shutdown'.

That last one is spelt exactly as I have typed it.

Possible malware infection(s).

Can I use the the tool aswMBR on a Windows 10 machine?

I haven't run the above yet but I noticed the clock in the bottom corner on the taskbar has lost two days and is showing 27 February.

When I tried to correct it the internal fan kicked in the laptop froze and the screen went off. Don't know if that's a coincidence or not.

Follow the link I gave you and let our malware gurus help you. aswMBR may be one of the tools they want you to run.

Just a post to say neither aswMBR and FRST64 will run/scan because my laptop cannot update the .exe because of the problem of not connecting to the internet.

Will it connect in safe mode with networking?

No.

Beginning to think the problem concerns Windows 10 update to version 1511.

Can this be dealt with on this forum?

Try my 2nd suggestion:

If no help then please go the malware cleaning route.
