Loss of Internet Access in Windows 11
- You may try visit the Lenovo website and search for model of your device and see if there is any new network driver available. If yes, try to install it.

Feb-06-2024 . . . .same issue from Feb-01-2024. Could not connect to "Internet" (wired or wireless), but could easily connect to Wireless Router (no internet).
Suspected all along it was a Windows Update (even had HP scratching their head.
For the record the machine has 32GB RAM, i7-12700F CPU, Windows 11 Home (not an upgrade). . ..booted fine, just could NOT find "any" network/internet devices.
Everything pointed to Microsoft . . . .NOT the case.
Uninstalled "Total Antivirus" (on Feb-07-2024) and computer immediately got on the internet, Tried built-in wireless card, add on (USB) wireless card, etc. All Internet works as advertised.
Everything is NOT what it seems . . . .think OUTSIDE that proverbial box!
Marine6805Here, we have seemingly the same problem but with two solutions. This indeed shows that sometimes you have to think outside the box. The fault is not confined to just PCs though. I had my Android Phone do something similar. You could not get the Internet on it. You could of course use the phone function but no net. There was no third antivirus program used. I still do not know what the problem was as it resolved itself after a couple of days. It could have been the supplier's network at fault, but there was no notification of this being out. Here, patience was the answer. Similar problem but not the same solution. If you can not figure out a solution then ask as someone could have just the solution you need.
