disconnection DNS issues disconnecting couple times every day

[genghisquan]

For the past week or more, I've been disconnected from the internet at least two or three times a day at seemingly random times.

Things I've tried:

• Cleared browser/system caches with CCleaner
• Scanned for malware, viruses, etc.
• flushed DNS & reset winsock
• hard reset my modem
• updated network drivers
• used Google DNS

I saw that a Win10 patch broke people's internet a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure if this is what's happening to me.

Please help!

Is it just your PC that is disconnecting from the internet?  Have you checked it's not actually your router that's disconnected?

 

If it's just your PC that's disconnecting and when that happens you can still access the internet from other devices etc and the logs show no disconnects, then it's most likely a PC problem. I can see you have tried some of the usual "fixes". Another thing you can do is delete your network adapter from your devices and re-install... first make sure you have up to date drivers handy though, just in case you need them.

 

There are some more things you can try here  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10741/windows-10-fix-network-connection-issues

 

But my bet is on the network adaptor uninstall/re-install fixing it.
