So I upgraded my PC to Windows 10 last night after using it without issue for a few hours. After the upgrade finished I no longer could connect to Internet. The troubleshooting message said "One or more network protocols are missing" after a bunch of digging I tried doing all of the steps in the following link: http://appuals.com/best-fix-one-or-more ... e-missing/

I didn't have any luck. I reverted my OS back to Windows 8.1 and I'm still having the same issue. I ran the troubleshooter again and now it says ""Ethernet" (network name I guess) doesn't have a valid IP configuration"
I tried running an ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew but that didn't help either.

I'm stumped, any suggestions?

EDIT: I'm gonna reinstall my mobo drivers tonight when I get home and hopefully that'll be all it needs. Only other thing I could come up with.

Well in a bizarre and positive turn of events, everything was working just fine when I got home and booted up my machine last night. No idea what was causing it but I'm just gonna assume the router/modem or something on Comcast's end was messed up and it wasn't my PC. Afraid to upgrade to Windows 10 now though

PC went ahead and upgraded itself to 10 again. No internet access again. Back to square 1.

EDIT: Seems like anytime I shutdown the computer and turn it back on it gives me internet access again. If I happen to restart it though, I lose it and have to shut down and turn it on... Odd.

I have had similar issues on a laptop. First place I'd check would be the drivers for your network card/chip. Try several versions from the manufacturer if you have to.
