There has been "progress": Windows 10 announced -- no questions asked -- searching online for better graphics drivers. Not a word about having no network (drivers) to carry out that search with.Thankfully. I still remember XP asking "do you want to search for drivers online?". For the modem...
Sounds similar to this bug issue on Win10 over at OcUK forums, https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18760700 , I sometimes wonder how Microsoft miss some of these.
edit- as a matter of convenience, I am going to try first the often overlooked built-in troubleshooting/diagnose option.
Ah, so that is where the message shows. I was wondering where the lady Friday was seeing it. I helped another user over the phone and the TCP/Winsock settings did not get it in itself, I walked him through removing and letting Device Manager re-add the WLAN adapter. It then connected just fine so I am hopeful at the on site this morning. The irony of Microsoft issuing a fix is that how are machines supposed to download the fix? Job security I guess.Believe me, it hasn't been overlooked. It should tell you about an invalid IP configuration.
