    I'm having the same issue with my Lenovo Yoga Slim 7. Tried all the suggestions made and it is still not working. Has there been a solution yet?

    I have a further issue as well, being that I cannot plug in an adapter cable as I do not have an rj-45 jack.

    ***EDIT***

    I was able to fix this issue by buying a usb wireless adapter, download the newest updates and then it worked on its own. So now I have a usb adapter that I don't really need. but at least the computer works now, thanks MS for breaking **** needlessly

    Same deal. HP Pavilion x360. Bought new a few weeks ago. Worked just fine until today. Tried resetting network. Nothing.

    For me, the solution was simply to *shut down* instead of restart. I don't know which of these changes did the trick because I tried every one I found both here and elsewhere over a period of many hours. I'd restart after every attempt. On a whim I tried shutting down, waiting a few minutes, then starting up again. Magic, problem solved! I'm using an HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 15-er1xxx.
