Win10 no valid ip address found?

Backup the data and wipe and reload.

No computer should take this long to fix nor should it take so much of your time to figure it out.

I agree with your sentiments, but we still don't know if it's hardware or software. No point reinstalling Windows for a U/S Wi-Fi card.

Still, not my time and effort. :shrug:

I'm going with the premise that everything worked under Linux. We haven't exactly been enlightened as to what "everything has been tried" really means. I presume the router / local area network is stable and configured correctly. I presume that other systems are operating just fine. I presume it worked under an alternative network - and even if the onboard card didn't work, another PCI NIC or USB NIC SURELY would have worked under linux. So N&P time.

<edit >> and I also presume that if it was MB or RAM or HD, this would have been ID'd under other tests / loads. So yeah, N&P. </edit>

Windows 10

For WiFi, open cmd prompt as admin. Type:

reg delete HKCR\CLSID\{988248f3-a1ad-49bf-9170-676cbbc36ba3} /va /f

Then:

netcfg -v -u dni_dne

Reboot. Should see all networks. If not, switch the adapter to a generic broadcom.

Also, make sure its not in Airplane Mode, make sure (if it has one) the WiFi button is ON.

For Ethernet, make sure Internal WLAN is enabled in bios.

Gee, I wish I had put that in a file for him to try earlier!
