Problem in network Windows 11 24h2

Anonymous

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?

    >>>  (HOME no problems noticed) 

     

    At your home, you are using your Internet Service Provider's DNS-servers to do DNS-queries, e.g., "find IP-address for the name www.ibm.com". 

    At work, you probably are using either a different I.S.P., or your employer's network is using some other DNS-servers, maybe to "filter" DNS-queries to block access to some NSFW web-servers by the employer's employees.

    So, that's the difference, and changing DNS-servers is a good solution for everybody having the issue.

    By the way, who is your I.S.P. ? I am wondering which ISP(s) have the issue.

    .

    I mainly use my ISPs DNS servers (automatic settings) although I have tried both Google & Cloudflare at various times in the past.

    I'm 21 with 52 years experience 😂 so don't work any more

    Only had this problem with the release of 24H2, all previous versions of Win 11 gave no problems, but as with most things nowadays, fix one problem and create 10 more.

    ISP is Community Fibre in London, UK utilising the Linksys Velop WHW0303 Triband mesh system

    Hey, is there anyone who could try this solution on their 24H2? I'm back on 23H2 more than a week without problems...

    I've just found this:

    I added the following to registry: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters TcpTimedWaitDelay: Set it to 30000 (30 seconds) KeepAliveTime: set it to 60000 (1 minute) KeepAliveInterval: Set it to 1000 (1 second) I also downloaded and ran TCPOptimizer and ran that: speedguide.net/downloads.php Screenshots on this forum for TCP settings: speedguide.net/forums/… Seems to be working so far. I will update if anything changes.

    GOOD MORNING - started out terrible after working on a computer at home all weekend.

    To have it Update from win10 22h2 directly to Win11 24h2 , after a M.2 replacement.

    Bringing the computer back to work and find all these 24h2 network issues and having to get things going. (HOME no problems noticed)

    Made it work by going into Network Ethernet settings.

      DNS Server Assignment 
    
          change to Manual 
    
                turn ON IPv4 
    
          Preferred DNS = I used 1.1.1.1 
    
              turn DNS over HTTPS = On (automatic template)   
    

    used 8.8.8.8 for sec = same options

     SAVED = Internet now working

    >> Will that stop my router giving out a public facing IPv6 address?

    That depends on which third-party router you are using.

    If you are using the DHCP-server supplied by your Internet Service Provider, it will not assign an IPv6 to you.

    Try disabling IPv6 on your computer, to see if it bypasses your issue. If it does not help, enable IPv6, and keep trouble-shooting.

    Thanks, that did indeed fix the problem, my DHCP is just run through my broadband router
