Edge can't connect to internet following update to Windows 10 build 17723.rs5

Just last week I found the solution (at least for my corporate environment).   Generally the issue in this case is that any Universal Windows Program (UWP) will not connect to the internet while standard desktop apps like Chrome, IE and other can connect.    You can search the internet and find quite a bit of commentary on UWP software requires IPv6 protocol.   In my world, IPv6 is turned off by policy once I join to our Active Directory domain.   I re-enabled IPv6 by changing the following registry location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters

DisabledComponents dword = 20

You can verify that you have an IPv6 address by opening a cmd.exe window and executing the command:   ipconfig /all

You should see an IPv6 address assignment.
