Hi folks. I've looked at some other answers to this question, but no luck. It is connected to the my network and indicates "Internet access" but it fails to connect. If I "view the status of this connection" it shows IPv4 Connectivity: No network access and IPv6 Connectivity: Internet. I've tried several solutions that I saw on other threads. I'm wondering if there is a Windows 10 solution. All of the devices that connect wirelessly are working fine. Any ideas are welcome.
Thank you!

Might want to try updating your board's network chipset drivers. I've seen this happen before after some W10 updates. Doesn't always cure it, but on more than a few times it worked.

Best bet is to either manually check for them on the mobo site or if you specifically know the chipset manufacturer then go to their site for a possible update. Don't depend on the builtin W10 self-update for this stuff, I've seen it fail a lot in the last 2-3 years.

update:Forgot to mention that if that rig can't connect you'll have to get the driver via something else and put on a flashdrive to install. Been there. Done that.

I have had issues before with upgrading a PC to 10 or updates with connectivity issues. I have fixed a handful by uninstalling the antivirus (which brought connectivity back) and then re-installing the antivirus again.
