    Thank you so much. Temporarily changed my DNS back to DHCP to validate the software, and then returned it back to what it was. Can't understand 1) Why it's got to use DHCP, and 2) if it has to, then why can't ANY Microsoft agents give this simple bit of advice rather than resetting the network, reinstalling, etc, etc. Loads of people change their adapter settings for various reasons.

    I thought I had fixed the problem and it came back. I did more troubleshooting and couldn't find out what was causing it. So through the company where I purchased my anti virus software I added a VPN for a small fee. And now the no Internet message is gone. I also had an issue with a couple of websites including a hospital website that contains a lot of medical info and test results that are important to me. And now I can access those websites. I kept getting a message that my connection was not secure. Anybody who tried all of the suggestions and nothing worked needs to try the VPN. I am almost 100% certain that will work. It might cost you a little money but there are some free ones out there if you check the web.

    I tried all of the suggestions but what finally appeared to work for me was uninstalling and reinstalling the network adapter.

    Thank you very much for the solution. The issue in my case was solved with step 3 reset the "Winsock"

    Thank you very much! For me it was the TCP/IP protocol that was corrupted (step 5)

    Slightly different DNS problem for me. When I checked Mother-in-Law's DNS settings, at some time in the past I'd set her to Choose DNS Servers:
    8.8.8.8
    192.168.1.254.

    Changed it back to DHCP, so it's just using the router 192.168.1.254 and that fixed it.

    Thank you so much for this. I've been wrestling with this problem for three days and no one seemed to have any answers beyond what I had already tried. I thought I was looking at a full Windows reset. Your last suggestion finally fixed it for me.
