(Solved) Internet stopped working after windows update

Anonymous

Hi everyone,

I installed a Windows update last night and my internet has stopped working ever since. The WiFi network shows as 'connected' and it works fine on my phone but nothing on my computer (I tried different browsers). I tried uninstalling the update and pausing Windows Update to stop it from reinstalling it but it still won't work. No internet either when I use my phone as hotspot.

The update I installed is: Windows 11 version 23H2 for systems x64 (KB5032288).

I would appreciate any support, thanks.

Yes. It was probably the VPN that caused the issue.

If it happens again, make sure your VPN is up to date. And if it happens again, even after updating, consult the Psiphon developer.

I did everything I could find. Guess what worked...... Uninstalling the last update. Asus vivobook win 11. Very uncool update.

Same thing happened with me regarding the same update. I quickly uninstalled the Windows 11 update and then my laptop WiFi Adaptor started working again and my internet was restored and worked correctly again.
