After updating to the new Windows 11h2, some machines experienced network issues with both cable and Wi-Fi. They connect but don’t get network access and receive an IP address starting with 169…, resulting in no internet or network connection. I updated drivers, firmware, and reset the network settings. The machines’ MAC addresses haven’t changed. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

    Hi,

    Same issue on Lenovo laptops, fixed in registry as view in a minitool forum

    Step 1: Press Win + R together to open the Run dialog box, type regedit, and press Enter.

    Step 2: In the pop-up UAC window, click the Yes button to grant administrator permission.

    Step 3: Navigate to the following key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WcmSvc

    Step 4: Find and double-click the DependOnService entry in the right pane.

    Step 5: In the pop-up interface, remove WinHTTPAutoProxySvc from the list, leaving only RpcSs and NSI.

    Step 6: Click the Ok button to save the change.

    Restart your PC to check whether these internet/Wi-Fi issues in Windows 11 24H2 are solved.

    I tested all the configurations you provided, but it still doesn’t receive a DHCP IP from the provider. :-\ I had to revert the last machine to 23h2.

    The problem occurs only with a Brazilian provider called VIVO.

    We have found the source for our problems, it seems with the update, it came with dependecies on some really oooooold service.

    So here is what we did with the computers that the network doesnt work, I think there was also the solution with the regedit somewhere in this thread.

    Procedure 1 (if device has no network at all - mostly PCs):

    a. Obtaining LAPS or using a pcadmin account

    b. Starting the CMD command line as pcadmin/Administrator

    c. Entering the line: sc qc wcmsvc

    d. Reviewing the lines entered

    c. Enter a new line sc config wcmsvc depend= RpcSs/NSI

    d. And check the success of the entry: sc qc wcmsvc

    e. Reset the computer

    OR

    Procedure 2 (mostly for laptops if their LAN connection works):

    a. Run Regedit as Administrator/pcadmin

    b. Look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinHttpAutoProxySvc

    c. In the folder, find the DWORD "Start" the current value will be 4 (disable)

    d. Enter a new value 3 (start)

    e. Save

    f. Reset the computer

    This should fix the issues, it works at least in our company environment.

    Hope it helps!

    Regards,

    Miloš

    I didn't have issues with internet access, but I did run into a problem accessing my network drive. Drive showed up, but was blocked by a security issue of some kind. Drivers were fully updated and verified the settings in the router. Verified the sharing settings. Rolled back to 23H2 and got access to the drive back.
