Ok (well, not ok), but did I describe quite well how your devices are connected (the modem router can give you a connection through the ethernet cable or wirelessly)? Or do you have another type of arrangement (collocation/layout/disposal) about your connection?

Do you have another device or computer to try with your connection? To exclude the problem is your connection. If you don't have it, you could ask to a friend of yours to try to connect his/her laptop to your connection.

You can open an elevated command prompt with a right-click on windows start, click command prompt (admin). Re-try with this command: (echo: && netsh interface ipv4 reset && echo: && echo: && netsh interface ipv6 reset && echo: && echo: && netsh interface tcp reset && echo: && echo: && netsh interface httpstunnel reset && echo: && echo: && netsh interface portproxy reset && echo: && echo: && netsh winsock reset && echo: && echo: && netsh winhttp reset proxy) > "%userprofile%\desktop\Netsh-reset.txt" Click to expand... If it still won't work, in the command prompt type (or copy/paste) path (and press enter) and post its content (or result) here.

Did you try to use windows defender and firewall only, just for a test (two days?)? Did you check the power management tab of your network adapter? (device manager, network adapters, double click your network adapter, untick the checkbox "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power")

desbest Well-known member Joined Sep 6, 2016 Posts 46 Location Birmingham, UK May 19, 2021 #38 I know this is an old thread but I just saw this now so I have to post this for future readers. In September or October 2018 Microsoft gave me a critical windows update, not the important or optional ones you usually get, and it removed the virus from my computer. It stopped all the blue screens, the internet constantly disconnecting or failing to detect wifi networks, and it also improved the speed. I also don't have to keep reinstalling the wifi driver every few days. If Microsoft had to remove something from my computer to fix the problem, then in hindsight, what I think happened was that when I went to Currys/PC World in 2016 to get my laptop repaired, while the insurance (technically extended warranty) company took it off to the repair centre to get repaired with a 7 day wait, they put a virus on my computer. Looking back, it happened shortly after I got my laptop back from being repaired. As they were in close proximity of my computer and not me, it's impossible to know exactly what they did to it. But Microsoft told me that the virus they removed had a keylogger that would record my screen and website visits and give me a fake hosts file that would redirect popular websites to fake websites that looked convincing while the hosts file would look normal when opening it in Notepad. So I have to thank Microsoft for removing the virus. Whether they patched the vulnerability for other windows users, I don't know so I can't comment on that.
