Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration - Help please

I am having a problem with a new PC. When going to a search engine, the first search always comes up with the error "Ethernet doesn't have a valid IP configuration". I click the fix link and all is then well. However after a reboot the error is back. I have tried all of the following but still have the problem. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Fix #1. Restart your Modem, Router, and Computer.
Fix #2: Disable the Fast Startup feature
Fix #3. Configure your network adapter settings.
Fix #4. Reset TCP/IP.
Fix #5. Clear the network cache.
Fix #6. Reinstall/Update your Network Adapter Driver.

All OS updates have been installed. If I just restart the PC it remains ok but when switched off and then on again the problem returns.
