it. I now can't find it.

I think it has happened since The Edge browser updated a few days
ago.

I tried reverting to Chrome but the problem is still there.

Manual fixes lead me to Registry corrections - but the lines it is
suggesting I should edit just don't exist.

Any good sources of help?



My wi-fi connection had problems after a windows update yesterday. The
Wi-fi would connect to the router and the router to other equipment
via Wi-fi without problems but the win10 laptop complained about no
internet connection. It was a wi-fi network problem as hard wiring a
Ethernet connection between the laptop and router allowed Internet
access.

Fix (for me): highlight the wi-fi connection symbol in the right
bottom corner of the screen.

One option on the pop-up should be "Network and Internet settings" -
click on this. This should open the Network status window in settings.

Click on the Network Troubleshooter option

Win10 did a diagnostic, asked me if I wanted a fix and then shut down
On restarting the Internet via wi-fi was available gain.





My WiFi was fine - it was links in emails that would not even open the
browser and website that was the problem.
