i use a computer that is in the bedroom. the router is downstairs almost directly below the computer. i was using wifi along time ago but i now use homeplugs.

i would often get disconnects from the wifi (hence the reason i now use homeplugs) which would seem like the router has crashed and you could also fix it by turning the router off for a few seconds, but nobody else in the house would have the internet go down on them (apart from when i turned the router off ofcourse). with the homeplugs this seemed to stop happening.

now since upgrading the windows 10 (even done a fresh install from USB device with no upgrading just straight into windows 10) i get this problem again but it offers more information now.
when i troubleshoot the problem i get told "one or more network protocols are missing on this computer". i have searched for some info and all i can find is that this is the result of some sort of update windows has done. if i wait for a few minutes 2-10 minutes normally this problem is resolved and i can use the internet again. but this can then happen again in a few hours time or the next day etc.

can anyone offer me some advice for this?
 
being the idiot i am i done what you said but didnt have the drivers or whatever here with me darn it, trying to download them on my wifi now with no wifi antenna attached lmao.

EDIT - so ive done as you suggest, now i will wait and see if it happens again.

This has happened on a few of my Windows 10 machines. However it seems to have caused the biggest issue on those where I had manually assigned an IP address.
One of my microservers had a manually assigned IP address of 192.168.1.4 but will no longer work with that since Windows updated itself on it. Now it will only work when I left it assign its own address. If it does it uses 192.168.1.17. So if I manually assign that address, with the right gateway etc the machine no longer has access to the Internet or network.
Two of our machines had their IP address automatically assigned and they are fine without the missing network protocol message etc.

For us the problem seemed to happen all at the same time across most of the machines, as they all had Windows updates applied.

i know this sounds daft but would windows manually assign an IP on its own? i have never doen this and nobody else in the house would even know how (tbh that includes me).

found the error log now while looking for another problem;- Name resolution for the name spynet2.microsoft.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.

how do i set them to auto?

EDIT - this event also happened less than 5 minutes previous;- The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}
and APPID
{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}
to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

the source is DistributedCOM
