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?
This plus the registry hack fixed the issue for me. Since 24h2 has DNS issues with the internet, I explicitly set it in the IP 4 properties. Internet works great now.
