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?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I don't understand if this workaround is useful only for who connect through wifi or also with LAN because I use a LAN cable and if yes I don't understand precisely what I do on my PC to apply this patch. In the previous page Eric Holzhueter has posted this solution but I see that he suggest to remove WinHTTPAutoProxySvc but in the screenshot I see that then he has removed tcpip... Can you explain better?
ik gebruik wifi
You are getting confused. The screenshot I posted was of 2 different services that had dependencies on WinHTTPProxy. One has TCPIP, the other did not. I only removed the WinHTTPProxy dependency from those services.
However I've tried also this solution and of course is not useful for my PC. I don't know if I'm the only one with this particular problem because my internet connection isn't completely absent but it's slow, if I reboot my pc, sometimes also 5/6 times, internet speed is normal again until the next reboot. I don't know at this point, if Microsoft really want solve this problem or not because 4 month are passed and with the last update nothing is changed
How are you measuring the "slowness" ?
After restarting, open the Windows Task Manager,
or run the "resmon.exe" Resource Manager.
It could be Windows Update checking for updates,
monopolizing your CPU & your Internet.
It could be Disk Defragmenter, monopolizing your disk-drive.
It could be your anti-virus software, scanning your "C:" drive.
Not all of these background tests are launched every time that you restart Windows, as you have reported.
Do you have an older computer, with a "spinning" disk-drive, that is much slower than a newer computer with a SSD (solid state device) or NVMe (next-generation SSD) ?
