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?

    That is interesting, but I want to point out that on my current machine a 23H2 system, the WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service is disabled and not running. When I checked the services that it was requiring, it was as I stated. So I am only pointing this out to ask the question of:

    Did MS disable that service at some point for some security reason and in the wisdom, bring it back accidently when they were building the new version because they pulled a service from an older version of software? (As we all know they do that) and its dependency was on the WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service when it should not have been? OR ....? I am really Not sure what the question is because all the other 23H2 machines I have checked have that service disabled and no dependency on the WinHTTP....?

    Just wondering....

    complementing, my network adapter is a "Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX 211 160MHz"
    current version "23.60.1.2" and Driver Date "6/3/2024" .... :/

    So For my issue, (at least on one machine, we have 2 right now with the problem) the WinHttpAutoProxySvc was disabled (from install). Made this change to the registry here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinHttpAutoProxySvc"Start"=dword:00000003 rebooted and resolved our issue. Internet back and working without anything else.

    Not sure why this would be the case but it worked, I will try the other system and let you know.

    ***UPDATE***

    Maybe spoke too soon! Not shocked, but when we rebooted that machine again (after the initial reboot and the internet was working on WIFI) the Start DWord in the registry had gone back to 4. And the internet did not work until the registry was changed and rebooted again.

    So not sure what to say now.

    in my case the service WLAN AutoConfig service is running... the strange is if I use another router (Ruccus) or my Xiaomi as WIFI hotspot, everything works well... :/

    In my situation if I connect USB Ethernet works too.

    Stop me if I am off on something out there, but what I am seeing is that the WLAN AutoConfig services is not running, when I try to start it, Comes back with Error 1068 The dependency service or group failed to start.

    I have tried a number of things and nothing yet has worked.

    Thoughts?
